AUBURN — The city thought their Festival Plaza ice rink was good to go for the Winter Festival. But they announced Friday the ice was not skatable and canceled Friday’s skating.

City employees planned to flood the temporary rink again Friday night for possible skating Saturday.

The Norway Savings Bank is offering free skating “for Auburn folk” from 8:40 p.m. to 10:10 p.m. Friday night. Skate rentals will be $5.

Just like watching ice freeze

It take days, patience and colder temperatures than we’ve had to turn Festival Plaza into an ice rink. The folks at Auburn Recreation have kept plugging, however, and they say the ice should be ready for Friday’s Winter Festival Kick off.
