I’d be happy to volunteer teaching some skating lessons if the rink gets constructed!

Hi Nicole – I did speak with Carol Thistle at the city’s development office back in August. I’m definitely in! I got an outdoor rink up and running in PA where I used to live. It’s really not complicated. It’s basically a plastic liner filled with water using bales of hay as a perimeter.. If there’s a fire hydrant close by, it can be done! It would cost approx. $4,000 for a rink that is 100 ft. x 150 ft. Go to http://www.nicerink.com. for details. I was an ice skating instructor at the Cape Ann Figure Skating Club when I lived in Gloucester years ago so I would certainly be willing to volunteer giving figure skating lessons if it comes to fruition. If you’re coming to the Holiday party on Friday I can talk to you about it. There’s nothing like skating outdoors on a frosty winter day!
