Holiday ice rink

Here's is an article that not many would have expected in Tampa:

I congratulate Mayor Pam Iorio and the city of Tampa for their wonderful foresight with the Curtis Hixon Ice Rink.

Who would have imagined that a temporary ice rink would draw over 22,000 ice skaters to downtown Tampa? Who would have envisioned that we would see children playing with snowballs adjacent to the Hillsborough River? And who would have dreamed that the city could arrange such a venue at virtually no cost to taxpayers?

My family, like many others, enjoyed the ice rink numerous times during the holidays. We especially enjoyed the laughter, the nightlife and the enhanced ambiance at Curtis Hixon Park. We hope this new tradition continues in Tampa for many years!
