While we originally hoped to debut our new ice skating rink, generously funded by the Sparta Community Foundation, during Winter Fest at the end of January 2026, we must share that the grand opening will be postponed until next winter. The site where the rink will be located is currently under construction, and due to several unforeseen delays in the project timeline, we do not yet have an occupancy date that would allow us to begin setting up the rink equipment and celebrate the kick-off with our grand Winter Fest plans.  

With this uncertainty, we have made the difficult decision to reschedule the opening to the winter 2026–2027 season. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to celebrating an incredible grand opening with the community next winter.
