Lancaster Stormers News Release
LANCASTER, Pa.-They won't be playing baseball this winter, but the Lancaster Barnstormers have unveiled a baseball-like promotional calendar for the return of the popular Ice Park at Clipper Magazine Stadium.
The outdoor ice skating rink, which attracted more than 15,000 skaters in its first season of operation, will re-open on Friday, Nov. 30 (weather permitting) with 90-minute sessions scheduled for 5, 7 and 9 p.m.
As part of the opening celebration, Clipper Magazine Stadium will host an "Ice Park FunFest" from 5 to 10 p.m. on Friday evening, Nov. 30. Admission to FunFest is FREE and open to the public (ice skating passes sold separately) and features carnival games, special appearances by Santa Claus, Cylo and friends, live music and a spectacular opening weekend fireworks display at 8 p.m. Special foods available include a pig roast by Hess's Bar-b-Que, wine tasting from Moondancer Winery, chicken corn soup, chili and FREE hot chocolate and coffee, courtesy of the Lancaster Barnstormers.
"We had a very successful winter with the Ice Park last season, and we look forward to celebrating the start of an even better year," Barnstormers general manger Kevin Cummings said. "The Ice Park FunFest is going to be a great activity for the whole family. Even if you don't ice skate, I promise you'll have a great time at the ballpark on November 30."
The Ice Park will remain open each weekend and the full week between Christmas and New Year's Day until Sunday, Feb. 17.
The Ice Park will also participate in two charity drives this winter: a Toys For Tots drive from Dec. 7-9 and a Freeze Out Hunger food drive from Jan. 11-14. Skaters who donate toys or non-perishable food items will receive free skate rentals or discount passes to the Ice Park. Last winter, Ice Park skaters donated more than 1,000 pounds of food to the Central Penn Food Bank in the inaugural Freeze Out Hunger food drive.
The Ice Park will be open for four special one-hour sessions as part of Countdown Lancaster on Dec. 31. Skaters with a Countdown Lancaster button will skate for free at 5, 6:30, 8 or 9:30 p.m. The Ice Park promotional calendar also includes giveaways to paying skaters on select weekends: Barnstormers ice scrapers (Jan. 4-6), winter hats (Jan. 18-20) and hockey pucks (Jan. 25-27). Special theme nights round out the promotional calendar (see below for details).
Admission to skate at the Ice Park is $6 per session. Ice skates can be rented for an additional $3. Tickets can be purchased in person at the Clipper Magazine Stadium box office, by calling (717) 509-3633 or online at www.LancasterBarnstormers.com.
