With the long Thanksgiving weekend ahead, do you have family coming to town? Do you need an excuse to get outside and burn off some of the Thanksgiving dinner calories?
How about ice skating?
In St. Louis three ice rinks will be opening for the season this weekend.
On Friday, the Shaw Park Ice Rink in Clayton will be opening to skaters for the season. This year marks the 50th anniversary of this outdoor rink.
To start the season of celebration, on Friday, skaters will be treated
to hot chocolate and treats. Additional special events are planned
throughout the season.
If you're at all familiar with STL, you've probably been to the Steinberg Rink in Forest Park. This is the largest outdoor rink in the Midwest. I remember going to Steinberg when we were growing up and having a great time. I'm not terribly coordinated, particularly on skates, but it was fun to go out and cruise around the rink. Taking ample breaks over by the fire with hot chocolate and friends didn't hurt either.
Steinberg Rink will open Saturday, but it won't alone. Also opening on Saturday for the first time will be the rink opening across from the newly renovated Peabody Opera House in Shiller Park downtown.
How fun! I think this is the year we'll teach the boys how to ice skate. The question will be, which rink do we go to?
