How does a 24 hour Skate A Thon work??

Short answer is- Come on down and find out.
Really, anyone is welcome to come to our home & rink. There are at least 2 people skating at all times from the 6 pm start until 6 pm the next day. We have food throughout the event (Kudos to past donors: Fernando's Restaurant, HyVee, Don Carmelo's Pizza and Brueggers Bagels) hot & cold beverages & music. So come to the party even if you don't skate- help cheer those skaters on and consider a donation to help us meet our goal. $10,000!

For you brave souls- We have 35-40 pairs of skates in assorted adult & kids sizes, and you can lace them up in the changing hut on the deck. Anyone can skate- for true beginners or rusty skaters we have barstools which support you as you glide along, like training wheels. All 24 hours need skaters, so we appreciate if you call or comment here to schedule your time, but come regardless! This year will feature 2 'hockey hours' late Friday night for Ted's MCHL buddies, and we appreciate children on Saturday-our legs are tired by then, so bring 'em. Last year Ted skated 10 hrs and Colleen 8...had a blast! Remember to bundle up- it's cold out there!
