Tobogganville

Did you know that Fall River is home to an actual toboggan racing team? The Chowda Heads will be showcasing their award-winning toboggans at this year’s event. The team is led by longtime Fall River resident Donald LeBlanc, a seasoned craftsman and racer.

The team is invited to compete year after year at the national championships in Camden, Maine. During Winterfest, they’ll be on hand to demonstrate how toboggans are made and to teach more about this heart-racing sport.
