WHAT: The series of special sessions with Variety -- The
Children's Charity will kick off on Sunday November 28
with a party where all the families and kids will get
to learn about this great opportunity to enjoy skating.
Sled skating allows children with lower limb
disabilities to sit on a sled, which has blades on the
bottom. They control the sled skate by propelling
themselves with hockey sticks along the ice. This year,
the Blue Cross RiverRink will expand this specialized
program. Developmentally challenged children will also
have an opportunity to try ice-skating in a private
session, customized for their needs.
The Opening Weekend celebration continues with free
face painting, crafts and balloon artists. Every
person who skates during the Opening Weekend
celebration will receive a complimentary ticket to
come back again.
