The PSU Ice Arena was full of holiday cheer, Christmas music, and delicious holiday treats on Sunday Dec. 2, 2012 for the annual Skating with Santa event. Students, faculty members, and Plymouth residents took part in the festivities, and everyone had a wonderful time, being able to skate for free with Santa and his helpers.
“I had a great time skating with Santa and friends,” said sophomore Andrew Reichbart.
Sodexo provided the event with hot chocolate and delicious cookies with tons of frosting and topping choices for participants to use to decorate and create their own Christmas cookies.
“The best part was learning to skate and the even offered great snacks and the festive atmosphere,” said junior Colleen Fitzgerald.
The Pemi Youth Center took part in the event by having their staff pull little kids around the ice arena in sleds, which brought a lot of smiles and excitement to the children.
Photos with Santa and his elves were available at the event as well, kids of all ages had the chance to sit on Santa’s knee and confess what they wanted for Christmas and bring home a picture with him.
