A spooky good time is about to hit the ice at Baytex Energy Centre, as organizers are set to host its annual Halloween Skate.
“The Town of Peace River is hosting the Halloween Skate as a fun way to celebrate Spooky Season with family fun, recreation, and being active,” says Peace River recreation programmer Taylor Bak.
“It adds a fun spin on the traditional Halloween activities and helps to extend the Halloween season.”
The skate will be held Oct. 19 from 5:30-6:30 p.m., and interested skaters are asked to take their Halloween costumes for a fun test skate.
“We encourage the participants that want to join us to dress up to participate in the Halloween fun, but it is not mandatory,” says Bak.
“What better way to break in your costume than to take it for a test skate?”
Bak says the Halloween Skate is a family friendly event that will feature games, a photobooth, goodie bags and a ton of fun.
“We openly encourage everyone to attend,” she says. “Admission to this event is sponsored by the Town of Peace River. There will be no cost to skaters and all you need to bring are your skates and your helmet.”
Bak says they will have some great Halloween decorations to really get people excited about Halloween.
“We are very fortunate in our community that we have incredibly supportive businesses that sponsor public skate times,” Bak notes.
