PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Hancock Shaker Village's "The Big Chill" event turned out to be chillier and snowier than expected. 
 
The event is to celebrate all things New England in the winter, said Caroline Holland, the Village's executive director and CEO. Photos from the event here
 
It featured maple tree tapping, blacksmithing and woodworking demonstrations, live music, a fire pit, sledding and snow activities, live music, and more. 
 
However, the two-day event was cut short as snow and sleet covered the region.
 
Although it became a one-day event, the village is brainstorming ideas to make up for it. 
 
"We're a little sad that we had to cancel. We were thinking of, if we didn't do a Big Chill two-day festival, maybe we should do something like a big thaw festival in March," Holland said.
 
"So stay tuned for maybe a little something that we might add on to the calendar."
