✨ What to Expect:
Inclusive Skating for All: Whether you’re a seasoned skater or trying it for the first time, the rink will be open for everyone to enjoy with on-ice helpers and adaptive equipment. Free skate rental and Free equipment to use!
Vendors: Local vendors will be on-site, offering food, and activities such as face painting, inflatables, photo booths, video booths, treats, and MORE! (most items are free, unless purchasing concession from the rink itself) All from 12-3 PM.
Sensory Room: We will have a sensory room, if children are overwhelmed and need to wind down or get some energy out. Look for this upstairs in the White Palace!
A Day of Support & Advocacy: All three organizations work tirelessly to create an inclusive environment for all participants, and with the support of David George, we’re bringing the community together for a day of fun and unity! We can’t wait to see you there! Mark your calendars now, and bring your family and friends for an unforgettable afternoon on the ice! ⛸️✨
‼️👀 We are looking for more on-ice volunteers! You MUST be a seasoned skater, able to skate well and assist new skaters, possibly holding them up on the ice. Please email [email protected] if you are interested.
Last year, we added the resource fair upstairs, and it was a huge success! This year, we hope to include more vendors, and make it even bigger and better.
