The Skate-A-Thon begins at 4:10 p.m., and runs until 7:50 p.m. Skaters will take part in on-ice games, free skating, giveaways, and music will be provided by a Live DJ. All attendees, both on and off the ice, will be treated to pizza and snacks. A raffle and 50/50 will be held, as well.
The cost of admission is $15 each for adults, and $10 each per child. Skate rentals will be available for an additional fee. Neither pre-registration nor skating experience are required.
