Piedmont Winterfest is still going strong downtown at Festival Park. This year, they’ve added an ice track for sled riding. For some children, this may be their only experience sledding. Now that the temperature has dipped to the low 20’s, it really feels like winter.  The park has been busy lately but not overcrowded. So, if you are looking for something to do, you might want to head downtown and skate and sled ride. Everything you need to get started, except the warm mittens, cap, and coat, can be rented on site. So, don’t make any excuses to enjoy this opportunity and, remember, it will only be here until February 1st.

Greensboro has produced olympic speed skaters and a rower. Who knows, maybe, with enough practice, we’ll get a bobsled team. Time will tell. Here is the link if you need more information about skating, and notice the approximately 20 sponsors who are helping to make this venture possible. From BERICO and BB&T to YES! Weekly, be sure to thank them all.
