How low can you go?
Kids came out of the cold on Friday night and laced up a pair of skates at the Charles City YMCA to take part in “whiteout” roller skating — one of the many scheduled events during Cabin Fever Weekend.
The YMCA was abuzz with youth zooming around the gym floor on roller skates.
Then it was game time.
Whether it was a game of limbo, magic carpet ride or four corners, there was plenty of fun had by all — even adults.
“We have parents that grew up skating here that bring their kids back skating here,” said Mike Sindt, YMCA property manager.
He said Friday night skating at the YMCA lasts from October until April. The second Sunday of the month, starting Feb. 10, there will also be skating from 3:15 p.m. until 4:30 p.m.
Sindt says The Sunday skate is geared more toward families, with parents skating for free.
