So, sharpen those ice-skating and snowball throwing skills and join us at the Silver Skates Ice Skating Derby and Snowball Archery Contest from 1:30 to 3 p.m. Jan.12 at the Centennial Park lagoon, Avenue D and East 11th Street.

This skating derby is for boys and girls ages 6 to 15. The contestants will compete in races of various lengths depending upon age group, and the best time will qualify them for awards. 

There will be a boys and girls division for each age catergory. It is not necessary for the contestants to be a good skate. All participants will receive an award.
