The Hancock Recreation Department organized a Winter Frolic for area families on Saturday. Participants created cardboard sleds, did arts and crafts and had cocoa and snacks at the Hancock Meeting House before heading outside to sled on the hill above Norway Pond.  The cardboard sled races are a Hancock tradition.
