FROSTival Old Fashioned Skating Party
January 30, 2014
With the temperature just a bit below freezing and light fluffy snowflakes falling, January 25, 2014 was the perfect day for an Old Fashioned Skating Party at historic Officer’s Square in downtown Fredericton.
Our team was delighted to hand out hot chocolate, mulled cider, and cookies to the skaters as well as collect donations for the Fredericton Food Bank while the Alex Bailey Swing Band kept the energy up for the skaters.
Thank you to everyone who came out to join us, to Ginger Designs for helping organize us, and especially to everyone who brought a donation for the food bank!
