Write Up:
As the wind howled through Calgary over the course of the day it left many wondering what would be in store for the evening skate at Bowness. In fact, as the day progressed, a number of participants removed their names from the list ... probably out of fear for what the evening might hold in store for them. Of course, one can never be to sure what Mother Nature has around the corner.

Alas, the hardy souls that did venture out to Bowness were treated to a great evening skate and a warm fire. The winds of the day had died down. Although the temperatures were a little cooler than what we have become accustomed to over the last week or so, we were greeted by what turned out to be a very nice winter evening. There were a few chilled toes over the course of the evening but they were comforted with warm cups of hot chocolate.

In addition, we virtually had the place to ourselves. It would seem the howling winds over the course of the day had scared many away from Bowness.

For all those that didn't venture out ... you missed a great evening of skating.

A special thanks to those who brought the refreshments and munchies (e.g. marshmellows, smores) that were enjoyed by all over the course of the evening.
