Re: [LincolnTalk] Any Ice Skating Stories?
My Dad would take us skating on Sandy Pond and the Sudbury River as well as Farrar Pond. I remember that the ice seemed to disappear under the bridges. You had to be very careful.

Re: [LincolnTalk] Any Ice Skating Stories?
My Mom always talks about skating on Long Pond and then over at Valley Pond. My daughter doesn’t believe anyone ever skated on Long Pond as the landscape has evolved so much. Nowadays I love the new tradition of the community ice rink at Pierce House. -Heather Heather Ring pronouns: she/her/hers > On Dec 22, 2022, at 14:15, Susan Taylor wrote: > > Just for fun, share your favorite stories/memories of ice skating in Lincoln! > I remember thick black ice on Beaver Pond in the 1990s when we could see fish > swimming under our skates!

Re: [LincolnTalk] Any Ice Skating Stories?
How we all looked forward to early winter after the first ice had formed in December to take full advantage of the few weeks before serious snowfall. This weekend, after the rain and warm weather followed by a hard freeze, should set up a spectacular week or 10 days of perfect ice for all to enjoy! Among a book full of memories since the 1950s, prominent are those having to do with shoveling snow off the ice after school, with luck in time to enjoy a game of hockey between goals marked by boots before it got so dark we couldn’t find the errant pucks in the bushes. I hope the young of all ages will take advantage of our outdoor ice to create their own lifelong memories of Lincoln in winter!

No. No. Long Pond is/was in Lincoln. Anne Sobol might know it. Sarah Cannon HoldenOn Dec 22, 2022, at 6:19 PM, Anne Sobol wrote:I remember mostly skating on DeNormandie's pond on Trapelo Road.

Re: [LincolnTalk] Any Ice Skating Stories?
Back in the day, a word would go out and folks would convene at Valley Pond, with food and libations. Bonfires were lit, chairs set up and some would actually venture onto the ice for a spirited, intergenerational game of ice hockey. Others would tentatively make their way around the ice. A straight-backed chair was kept on the ice to proved support for those new to those narrow blades on the feet. Others simply sat, pond-side, imbibed ( or not) and enjoyed the warmth of fellowship. We have not had ice to support much these past years. That should not deter us from the other components of the gathering. -- Sara Mattes > On Dec 22, 2022, at 2:14 PM, Susan Taylor wrote: > > Just for fun, share your favorite stories/memories of ice skating in Lincoln! > I remember thick black ice on Beaver Pond in the 1990s when we could see fish > swimming under our skates!

Just for fun, share your favorite stories/memories of ice skating in Lincoln! I remember thick black ice on Beaver Pond in the 1990s when we could see fish swimming under our skates!
