Ice arena salutes Halloween with community skating party Oct. 25

2:36 p.m., Oct. 21, 2003--On Saturday, Oct. 25, visitors to the Fred Rust Ice Arena will feel more of a chill than usual as the rink hosts its first community Halloween bash. Set for 1-3 p.m., the family-oriented event is open to the community.

Activities, which include spooky music and on-ice games such as hokey-pokey, the limbo and a miniature pumpkin slalom course, are geared for youngsters between 3 and 12. Sand art activities also will be available for the artistically inclined, and the snack bar will offer continuous service for hungry revelers.

According to ice arena manager Jim Kaden, the event is part of the rink’s public skating program, which offers open sessions from 8-10 p.m., Fridays and Saturdays, and from 1-3 p.m., Saturdays and Sundays.

Coupons for discounted admission to the party for groups of up to four people can be picked up at the Fred Rust Ice Arena. Admission without the coupon is $5; skate rentals are $3. Parental supervision is required for children 12 and under. For more information, call 831-2868.
