Our new season started last week, and weather permitting, will see the rink open every day.

New Outdoor Pavilion Rink Approved
February 11, 2010
At the March 16th 2009 East Aurora Village Board meeting, the Trustees
unanimously approved the AIA Development Plan for a permanent outdoor
pavilion style rink with buildings for services. The temporary Classic
Rink used for this past season proved to be a very popular winter
attraction in the Village, hosting public skating sessions with over
15,000 admissions, hockey tournaments, games and practices, and
learn-to-skate events. The rink's activities over the season met with
the overwhelming approval of the public and the local merchants,
helping to pave the way for the Village's approval of a permanent
facility.
Construction can begin in summer 2010, if funding is secured.
News Update: -- Pavilion Roof Project Temporarily Put On Ice!
Our day-long "Telethon" style fundraiser at the rink on May 30th fell
short of our "Raise the Roof" million-dollar goal, in spite of
receiving hundreds of generous pledges from our supporters. The good
news is that those funds did cover many of the start-up architect's and
engineer's work so we are now prepared to move ahead quickly once the
remaining funds are secured. We thank everyone for their generous
support.
More News: -- Our Home Emergency Generator Raffle Winner
Warning Electric generously donated a 7 kW home automatic emergency
power generator for AIA to use as a fundraiser for the pavilion project, and the raffle was won by Ben Dodge, a local State Trooper. Congratulations Ben!
