SILVER SPRING, MD—Families looking to take advantage of “Black Friday” deals minus the little ones might find the solution at county ice skating rinks with the Department of Parks’ “Drop, Shop & Skate” program.
“This is our fifth year offering this program at the Wheaton Ice Arena and it has proved very popular,” said Manager Cathy Laws.
“Drop, Shop & Skate” programs are planned at both the Wheaton Ice Arena, 11717 Orebaugh Avenue in Wheaton and the Cabin John Ice Rink, 10610 Westlake Drive in Rockville, on Friday, November 23 from 8:00 am – 12:00 noon. The programs are geared for children ages 6 through 12. For $25 per child, families can drop off their children at the ice rinks for skating, movies and snacks while they get a jump on the holiday shopping.
The Wheaton Ice Arena is conveniently located to the Westfield Wheaton Plaza Mall and the Cabin John Ice Rink is near Westfield’s Montgomery Mall and many retail shops along Rockville Pike.
“Families that took advantage of this program last year raved about our convenient timing,” said Cabin John Ice Rink Skating Director Nancy Cadigan.
Parents can register now for either “Drop, Shop & Skate” program online at www.ParkPass.org (Course #38075 for Cabin John and Course #43382 for Wheaton). Early registration is encouraged.
