Do you remember the good ol' days of ice skating at Grippen Park?
Well, they rebuilt the rink and it's calling to us to relive those fun times!

C'mon out for some ice skating ( you can strap a pillow to your butt if you want, we will think you're pretty smart!) and afterwards, we will head over to Harry Tufts or Kelly's to warm up, laugh and chat about the evening and enjoy dinner.
Entrance fee to Grippen park rink is $5 and you can rent skates for an additional $5. Skaters may be required to sign a waiver. See ya there!
