Great skate

On the afternoon before the Super Bowl, some youngsters and a couple adults took advantage of the Welch Park ice rink in the village. Located on Elm Street, the venue was great.

Pond hockey goals were part of the set-up and the ice — though not perfect — is good enough to play a game.

Outdoor neighborhood ice rinks are popular in this time of year. There are some in Fredonia and a number of others across the county.

After an hour of outdoor action, the kids and adults who participated had a great workout. As for myself, I was very cold as a spectator.
