ICE RINK UPDATE: Hi Folks, due to the winter storm happening, we will not be doing the free hot coco and outdoor music this evening Saturday Feb 15th from 6-8PM in the Hancock Town Square. Instead we will do next Saturday with outdoor heaters, cocoa and music, but please note that it's open all weekend from 8am-8pm. If the weather holds we will allow open skating until it melts, as we can't take it apart until it melts anyway. As always, it is skate at your own risk and bring your own skates. We have some ice skates for young adults and children available to borrow next Saturday evening. Please don't drive in this storm if you can help it as the roads are very very icy!
