Northern Sunrise County/Nampa Family and Community Support Services (FCSS) is gearing up to host Father Christmas in an exciting Christmas Skate and Wiener Roast in mid-December.
Christmas Skate and Wiener Roast is set to take to take place at the Harmon Valley Community Skating Rink on Dec. 13 from noon until 2 p.m., families and community members are welcome to participate in the free skate.
“Nampa/Northern Sunrise County FCSS is partnering with the Harmon Valley Fire Fighter Association to host the family skate and wiener roast to bring the community together in a fun, family-friendly setting,” says FCSS director Amber Houle.
“Events like this build connection among residents, promote healthy outdoor activities, and creates opportunities for families and neighbours to celebrate the holiday season together in a safe and welcoming environment.”
Houle urges people from around the county to attend, noting it is a chance to get active on the ice, enjoy tasty treats like hotdogs and hot chocolate, and connect with the local community in a joyful holiday atmosphere.
“The Christmas Skate & Wiener Roast is special because it combines simple winter traditions, skating, sharing hotdogs and hot chocolate, with the warmth of community connection,” Houle says.
“We hosted a family skate and wiener roast in March this year and it was well received by the community. Many of the residents (stayed) past the event to continue to bond and enjoy the ice surface,” she adds.
Houle says attendees are welcome to bring their hockey sticks and pucks to play a friendly game of shinny on the rink, if they choose.
Christmas Skate and Wiener Roast is ice condition and weather dependent.
