In addition to announcing a fun-packed program for New Year’s Eve, we are pleased to share some important news regarding USM’s open ice skating as well as to explain the new ways you can pay for your admission.

First off, families will enjoy free ice skating at the USM rink between 2 and 4 p.m. And, new this year…free skate rentals!

It is important to note that USM now charges $1/hour for parking on the Gorham Campus. For more information about the parking fees and how to pay, please go to: usm.maine.edu/parking-services/visitors

Also, NEW this year is your ability to pre-purchase your $5 admission through the Gorham Rec. Department’s website: gorhamme.myrec.com/info

The pre-pay online amount will be available ONLY through Dec. 27. The admission at the door will be $7 (payable with cash, check or credit card), no charge for children under the age of two.

We have been able to keep admission affordable because of so many generous businesses and individuals who have contributed sponsorships and volunteer time. Look inside this issue of the Gorham Times for a full-page program with details about each performance. In the meantime, if you have any questions about how to contribute or be involved in any way, please contact me at trhasbrouck@icloud.com.
