TRIC Friday Night City Sights Advanced Beginners Skate and Wine & Cheese Social

Skaters,

Please join us on Friday, July 18th, for the Wine & Cheese Party Skate and Social. It will be held in the Jail Trail parking lot.

The skate for this evening will be an "Advanced Beginner" level skate to give skaters from the Wednesday Night Skate an opportunity to try a new skate experience. The skate will be 1 1/2 hours long.

After the Friday evening skate please stay and socialize with your fellow skaters. Bring your favorite wine to share, cheese, or any other snack food or beverage. If you don't drink wine, bring whatever beverage you enjoy and of course, all the skaters will enjoy other items besides cheese. It's a social / casual event!!! Even if you are not skating please come for the party!!! There is NO charge for this TRIC get together.

Newer skaters are encouraged to come to the party as well. This is a good opportunity to meet other skaters and talk skate. Bicycles are welcome on the skate if you prefer, as a good way to follow the group on the City Sights Skate.

Beginner skaters can also skate on the flat Jail Trail that starts at the parking lot. See location map for directions.

The skate time is 6:30, the social begins at 8:30. You are welcome to bring a guest. We will meet at the Eliza Furnace Trail parking lot at the Greenfield end. It is the same location as the Friday night skate. Cheers!
