be part of you can have fun and you can
give back so tell me when can people
skate today on the ice from noon til
6:00 the skating is free and skate
rental is a mere five dollars so it's
it's widely accessible and I think that
noon to six window will actually warm up
yes so yeah hopefully you'll hopefully
it gets a little warmer here later in
the day when the Sun comes out even more
so it goes until from noon to 6:00 like
she said all of winter glass starts at
noon today because it is chilly outside
we want you guys to stay warm and safe
so we've adjusted the hours of it it's
just the five dollars for the skates or
you can bring your own and then the
event is entirely for free plus if you
missed the free skate this weekend at
the last weekend of Winter Fest
we're not Winter Fest winter blast they

one of you guys cuz it's actually ice

you guys the food trucks they have over
there cuz if you're gonna be out
skidding you're gonna get hungry got eat
