Rice
Park Winter Wonderland
Capital
City Partnership, the City of St. Paul, and Xcel
Energy invite you to experience Rice Park powered by Xcel Energy, downtown
St. Paul’s premiere, winter holiday destination. The 2007/2008 season
is November 24, 2007 through January
1, 2008.
Rice Park powered by Xcel Energy will capture the spirit of
the holiday season with a tree as tall and bright as the iconic
Rockefeller Center tree in New York City. The 78-foot tall tree in Rice Park
will be lit 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The park will sparkle
with millions of twinkling lights, classic Nutcracker and angel
statues, and other holiday décor.
In addition to Rice Park powered by Xcel Energy, adjacent Wells Fargo WinterSkate
– downtown St. Paul’s free, outdoor,
artificially-chilled ice skating rink – creates a fun, winter
experience for visitors of all ages. The 2007/2008 rink season runs
from November 24, 2007 through February 3, 2008. Skate rental is just
$2 per person. Receive free skate rental for you and your family by
showing your Wells Fargo check card or credit card.
The perfect complement to any St. Paul visit – Minnesota
Wild games, museum visits, or seeing Ordway Center for the Performing
Arts’ Sound of Music – we invite you and your whole family to celebrate
the season at Rice Park powered by Xcel Energy in downtown St. Paul!
