Free Ice-skating

Broome County Executive Barbara Fiala will host another free skating day on Feb. 22 at the Broome County Veterans Memorial Arena, “since children will be out of school next week and Grippen Ice Rink is still out of commission,” said Fiala. Free skating will be available from 1-4 p.m. at the arena. However, skate rentals will not be available.
