by the Variety Club's Tree of Love campaign. Highlights
of the ninth season include:
-- Partnership with the Variety Club for their Sled
Skating Program and their Tree of Love Campaign.
-- Sold Out Party On Ice, where hundreds skated under
the stars and welcomed in the New Year with a
spectacular fireworks program over the Delaware
River.
-- Free activities and special events including face
painting and crafts each weekend, along with
favorites traditions like Skate with Santa, Kids
Fest, and the Chocolate Festival.

Program are made possible by the title sponsor of the
Blue Cross RiverRink, Independence Blue Cross. Other

Mobile. Plans are already underway for the ten-year
anniversary season in 2003-2004.
