Blue Cross River Rink to reduce admission price


The board that oversees the operation of the Blue Cross River Rink has decided to reduce the price of admission for the 2007-08 season. The reduction in entrance fee comes from the fact that, due to insurance reasons, the rink will not feature ice this season. The board plans to make up for not having ice by having give-aways and special themed nights. "We plan on having a bobble-rink night and a popcorn night," said Karen Kara, a member of the board.
Patrons will have to walk around the rink in a counter-clockwise direction at a reasonable pace. "We will not permit running in the rink, but light jogging is fine," said Kara. The River Rink will be renting sneakers instead of skates for the season. "So if you finish work in heels and you want to visit the rink, you still can." The River Rink will offer walkers the same great views of the past without all the slipping and sliding.
