Wells
Fargo WinterSkate
Capital City Partnership, the City of St. Paul, and
Wells Fargo invite you to experience Wells
Fargo WinterSkate, downtown St. Paul’s free, outdoor,
artificially-chilled ice skating rink. The 2007/2008 rink season is November 24, 2007 through February 3, 2008.
Skaters are invited to experience the unique urban
setting of downtown St. Paul. Located in the heart of the city, Wells Fargo WinterSkate creates a
fun, winter experience for visitors of all ages. The historic Landmark
Center creates a beautiful backdrop for the outdoor rink, showcasing
St. Paul’s charming European architecture and old-world ambiance. A
community hearth in Landmark Plaza adds a warm, inviting place for
family and friends to gather next to the rink.
In addition to Wells
Fargo WinterSkate, adjacent 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. A 75-foot tree in Rice Park will be lit 24 hours
a day, seven days a week, from
November 24, 2007 through January 1, 2008. The park will sparkle
with millions of twinkling lights, classic Nutcracker and angel
statues, and other holiday décor.
Snow or no snow, you can count on seeing happy skaters
enjoying Wells Fargo WinterSkate at
Landmark Plaza. We invite you and your whole family to “dust off” your
skates and head to downtown St. Paul. The outdoor rink will be filled
with noontime employee skaters, after school groups, youth hockey
scrimmages and practices, broomball teams, corporate events, and family
open skating.
