It will be tricky to keep the outdoor rinks open into March unless the City figures out how to get the ice thinner. So Dufferin Rink is going to squeeze in a few extra fun things in February:
Saturday Feb.18, 6 to 9 p.m. is the annual bike race on ice -- the outdoor oven will be on for pizza, plus there will be a 3-piece jam band indoors (i.e. two of the rink staff, Jake Sherman on drums and Nick Cameron on triangle, plus our webmaster Henrik's son Karl Bechmann on keyboard)
Friday Feb.24 6 p.m. is the opening of Laura Berman's photography exhibit "Seasons at Dufferin Grove" at Friday Night Supper (also with Karl at the keyboard). That exhibit runs until March 11 in the rink house.
Saturday Feb.25 1:30-4:00pm the Jimmie Simpson "hockey in the neighbourhood" kids will come over for a couple of hours to do drills with kids 6 to 12, and play some shinny (call the rink at 416 392-0913 for more information, ask for Daniel, if your kid is interested)
Sunday Feb.26 there will be a DJ (rink staff and DJ Ted Carlisle) on a special stage on the ice, sort of like at Harbourfront Rink, with good ice skating/dancing tunes, and the zamboni cafe will be staffed by Clay and Paper Theatre's puppets, plus the rink guards will be puppets too (on skates, with fluorescent vests of course).
