TRIC Friday Night City Sights - ADV Beg. Skate and ICE CREAM SOCIAL

Skaters,

Please join us on Friday, August 15th, for an Advanced Beginners Friday Night Skate, followed by our annual Ice Cream Social. It will be held in the Jail Trail parking lot.

After the Friday evening skate please stay and socialize with your fellow skaters. Bring your favorite ice cream topping to share, or any snack, food or beverage. If you don't eat ice cream, bring whatever you enjoy and of course, all the skaters will enjoy other items besides ice cream. It's a social / casual, so be ready for conversation!!! Even if you are not skating please come for the party!!! There is NO charge for this 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. Bring a friend. 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 the flat Jail Trail that starts at the 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. The skate will be 1 1/2 hours long.

The skate time is 6:30. The social begins at approximately 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 group-up for the Friday night skate. Cheers!
