Glens Falls ‘Fire & Ice’ Event Moving Forward and Seeking Volunteers

The Third Annual “Fire & Ice” event at Crandall Pond will be hosted by The City of Glens Falls beginning on Friday, February 3rd. This event will go on – weather and ice safety permitting – every Friday night for the month of February, from 5:30 PM to 9:00 PM. The city will be providing hot chocolate, and they ask that people bring their own skates, mugs for the hot chocolate, and a chair. This year, a warming tent will also be provided, thanks to Garden Time and Glens Falls Motors. Admission is free to this event, but parking is limited, and all children will need to be accompanied by an adult. 

“Skating at Crandall Park is always a fun experience. But, there is something to be said about a snowy scene, a cup of hot chocolate, and a bright warm fire. ‘Fire & Ice’ is becoming one of the things that makes Glens Falls special” Mayor Collins said. 

Ward 3 Councilwoman Diana Palmer has helped manage this event. “What makes ‘Fire & Ice’ so special is that Crandall Pond will be specially lit with six bonfires. Adding to the ambiance will be music provided by DJ Peter Wilhelm to make “Fire & Ice’ a unique skating experience. Last year because of the mild weather we had to postpone ‘Fire & Ice’ into March. Thankfully, the upcoming forecast looks promising, but we still have a need for volunteers to run our event.” Palmer said. The Glens Falls Fire Department require one adult to supervise each fire/burn barrel.
