IR)—The “Holidays on Ice” ice skating rink in Stride Bank Center’s south parking lot in downtown will open at noon Saturday. Main Street Executive director Natalie Beurlot said, “Due to high winds, we were unable to build ice safe enough for the public to skate on. Safety is our number one priority and we look forward to providing a better experience for everyone to enjoy on Saturday.” Around 10,000 skaters took to the ice last winter. This year the rink will be open Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve, but closed Christmas day. Season tickets and group events and parties can be ordered now through Stride Bank Center by calling (580) 616-7381. Williams Media Group, KOFM-KGWA, is the rink’s sponsor.
