On the ice

http://www.arcticwolfice.com

Since I’m not in College Station this week (I’m interning in Dallas), I’ve decided to different students and residents of the BCS area what they like to do for entertainment. Lindsay Garrett, a fellow Ag Comm major, enjoys going to the Arctic Wolf Ice Center.

She likes how the rink “has a lot of different ways to enjoy the ice.” There’s broomball nights, hockey games on the weekends, and just plain ice skating. It’s fun to do something different other than going to dinner and a movie. Whether you go with friends or on a date, ice skating is fun for all ages.

I’m really glad that Lindsay mentioned ice skating, because that’s something I personally will not be going to do. I’ve had some pretty bad experiences with it. The last time I went ice skating was with Cade for a Ross Volunteer date party…and it ended with me falling and bruising my tailbone. Let’s just say that Cade never heard the end of it. I’m not good at ice skating, nor will I take the time to get good at it.

BUT, many people do enjoy it and that’s great. Lucky for them, we do have Arctic Wolf Ice Center in town. It offers ice skating lessons, hockey leagues, and figure skating. Each day is filled with lots of different activities going on at the rink. It’s located at 400 Holleman Drive.

Cut A Rug at Harry’s

Hurricane Harry’s, a country music 18 and older bar, is the place to be if you’re looking to dance the night away. Well….unless it’s on one of those crazy busy nights and there’s barely enough room to stand on the dance floor, much less dance to a song. If you’re looking to get dolled up in your starched jeans, boots, and turquoise jewelry, you should head to Harry’s. You’re guranteed to get an eyeful of all the latest western fashions…and some not-so-fashionable.

Harry’s has two dance floors and multiple bars throughout the building. Each Wednesday night is the Texas State Line, sponsored by 98.3 KORA, that has different Texas Country Artists, like Casey Donahew Band and Josh Abbott. It can get pretty crowded on the nights of a good concert, so I would suggest getting your tickets early at Cavendar’s or Traditions Bookstore.

Country music is all that is usually played at Harry’s, but every now and then you’ll hit a popular rap song or hip-hop hit. Like I said earlier, it’s a good place to go to dance on the quieter nights, but often gets crowded on Thursdays and Saturdays.
