River Blades Skating School 19th Annual Skate With Santa At The Hastings Civic Center

I planned to walk to the Civic Center at 5:45 because it was only a 3 minute walk and I didn't have to cross any major roads. I took 8 steps outside before I realized the parking lot was glazed in ice. I decided to drive. My snow scraper is in the trunk. The trunk was frozen shut. So I used my plastic card from the YMCA in Duluth which worked very well. I was only 5 minutes late. There were so many people there I had to park in the boondocks. The boondocks were slippery so I walked in the grass. The closer I got to the door of the Civic Center, the less slippery it got. How come so many people came out on this slippery night? There were more than 300 people there.

I was laughing and clapping and singing along to the music.

Santa is sitting on the ice handing out gifts to children. At 7:15 guests could join on the ice.

I am so glad I decided to go. On the other side of the arena I watched a few minutes of a hockey game. It has been a llllloooonnnngggg time since I watched a hockey game.
