The Kristi Yamaguchi Holiday Ice Skating Rink, the first and only outdoor ice skating rink in the Tri-Valley, will officially celebrate its grand opening on Nov. 15 at 5:00 p.m. The rink will be open until January 5, 2020.
Yamaguchi, the beloved 1992 Olympic gold medal winner in women's figure skating and East Bay native, will kick off the grand opening with a few words. The event will continue with a choreographed holiday skating performance called, "An Icy Christmas" by Polina Edmunds, the 2016 U.S. Silver Champion, with young up and coming local skaters, including Yamaguchi's daughter, Emma Hedican.
A portion of all ticket sales will benefit Yamaguchi's Always Dream Foundation, a local organization committed to inspiring underserved children to reach for their dreams through innovative reading programs, and promote the importance of early childhood literacy.
The grand opening is free to attend. Regular admission prices begin at 6:00 p.m.
