Hoosick Town Board Action – So Far No Skating

January 18, 2013 By eastwickpress

by Bea Peterson

One very irate resident left a very unpleasant message on the Town answering machine enraged because there had been no skating so far this year. Except for three very cold days, making ice at the Town rink has not been possible, said Highway Superintendent Louis Schmigel.

Schmigel believes the upcoming stretch of consistently cold days will make skating possible.
