The Village of Homer has announced a tentative opening date for the ice rink on the Village Green. The ice rink will look to be open to the public on January 7th after issues were created when an individual went onto the rink over the holiday weekend and tried shoveling.
The shoveling on the rink caused a lip which could lead to people tripping over it. The lip cannot be smoothed. Due to forecasted warmer temperatures, the rink will not be able to refreeze in time for an opening date earlier than the 7th.
The Village of Homer has caution tape up around the ice rink and is asking everyone to remain off the rink until it is officially open and safe for the community to use. The village states besides the lip on the ice there were other issues that arose as well.
