鈥淚t鈥檚 completely beautiful out here, despite being a bit chilly鈥�, said 麻豆AV resident Cory Gauw.

鈥淟ast year, the ice rink only lasted for two-and-a-half months. You need to get the most out of it while you can.鈥�

麻豆AV ice skaters had extra reasons to cheer this season. The city announced last Thursday that the ice rink would open three days earlier this year than previously planned.

Even though he said he was injured, 麻豆AV resident Wallace Walters said that still didn鈥檛 stop him making it out for the opening.

鈥淚 just came out to check out the skating tonight,鈥� Walters said.

鈥淚鈥檝e got a bummed knee, but I鈥檓 going to try and do my best.鈥�

Tonight is the official opening of the Stuart Park ice rink! Are you making it out to skate tonight?
