***

STANDBY...
This event may be postponed if masks are still required by all attendees...
Hoping they have relaxed this restriction recently/
Will confirm soon and update accordingly.

Let's go ice skating!!! And socializing!

(Feel free to bring the kids... it's also Family Fun Night.)

===== ===== ===== =====

WHY?
Why not!!!

Never ice skated?
No problem... come out and give it a try!
Wear jeans and gloves to absorb the falls. :-)

Scared to try it?
No problem... come out and hang out with us anyway!
There's no charge to watch, and there will be plenty of time for socializing as skaters take much-needed breaks off of the ice.
Plus, there may be wounded knees and egos (or even a broken wrist!) that need care from someone just like you!!! ;-)

===== ===== ===== =====

We may have a quick bite to eat somewhere around 5:30-6'ish for those who want to meet beforehand, and I will post that if/when determined.

WHERE:

Corner of I-95 and Emerson Street

===== ===== ===== =====

WHEN:

Meet inside around the benches near the skate rental area between 7:00-7:15pm so that we can beat the crowd, pair up for the BOGO price, get our skates, and of course socialize.

Tuesday night skate schedule is from 7:30-9:00pm.

It's $12 BOGO for admission and rentals...

\*\*\* Be sure to bring $6 cash to make the BOGO easier. \*\*\*

IMPORTANT:

* Please arrive between 7:00-7:15pm so that we can help you find a BOGO partner. After that, it may be too crowded to help you.
* Unless you already have a BOGO partner, bypass the payment booth when you first arrive...
* Proceed toward bench area in back near the skate rental to find the group...
* Pair up with someone to take advantage of the BOGO offer...
* Then go pay your admission and get your skates!

===== ===== ===== =====

Concession-style foods/snacks are sold onsite...

Beer & wine are available for those not skating (and after skating for those who do skate).

Recommendations:

Dress in layers... short-sleeve shirt, under a long-sleeve shirt, under a fleece, jacket, or coat. The temperature inside varies, as does personal preference, so come prepared to add or remove a layer or two.

Bring gloves

Wear very thick socks or two pair of socks to cushion the rental skates. Plus the rentals only come in full sizes, no half sizes, so you may need the extra socks for a good fit. Rental skates are available in sizes Toddler 6 through Adult 14.

Request hockey-style skates, unless you know that you like figure skates. (If brand new, consider requesting the blue hard-sided skates.) These skates provides greater ankle support TIP: for some reason it seems approximately one full size smaller is sometimes needed when requesting skates.
