Video: Winterfest 1989

Recently recovered video of Winterfest 1989 includes the first Outhouse Race in Deer Park. The footage also briefly shows a Snowshoe Softball game in progress and ice sculptures in front of the Deer Park City Hall. Joan Schut narrated the video at the time of recording.

We’re thrilled to include this new addition in our Deer Park Gazette Archive Project. It’s part of our ongoing effort to preserve a detailed history of our town for future generations to explore and appreciate. Through this project, we aim to create a comprehensive record of Deer Park’s journey over the years, capturing its essence and evolution for all to cherish and learn from.
