## About

On Saturday, December 5, the outdoor rink behind the Delaware Welcome Center holds a learn-to-skate session only for children 10 and under, with the WarCats hockey team. It sits in the middle of Main Street Delaware's free holiday skating schedule, between the public free-skate hours later that afternoon and the other public sessions on December 4 and 6. The rink is outdoors downtown, sponsored on the page by Snappy's Automotive and The Mason Foundation. Skaters should dress for weather and bring whatever skates the session expects; the page does not say skates are provided or that a registration form is required. This hour is separate from the all-ages free skate listed for 3–5 p.m. the same day.
