SNOW DAY FUN: Dozens enjoy rare Wilmington sledding opportunity

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — What else do you do for fun on snow days? Dozens of people climbed the hill on the corner of Ann and Front Streets in downtown Wilmington to go sledding.

Many of the sledders said they live close by and come to this hill whenever it snows. Kids enjoyed riding up and down the hill all morning. Along with sledding some even brought their surf board to go down the hill.

Ella Rogers said she is only hitting the streets on her board and not in the car, but loves hanging out and enjoying the snow with her neighbors.

“They love it the whole, all the kids come down here to this one spot and it’s just a great time for them,” Rogers said. “They’ll hang out together and just enjoy the snow because it doesn’t happen that often here.”

Rogers said she has enjoyed this snow fall more than previous snow days because she says its been softer and less painful to fall on.
