Relatively warm temperatures meant mud instead of snow at Shiver by the River, Jan. 21 in Depot Park, but kids still had fun.
The ice rink, maintained by Clarkston Area Optimists, still had ice in it for ice skating despite temperatures reaching the 50s.
“It’s about as good ice as you could expect,” said Optimist Tom Middleton, who has been watering the rink almost every day during the colder previous weeks.
“There were just tons of people,” said organizer Gini Schultz. “It was just wonderful.”
