Tonight we bid a farewell to Brentwood's Holiday on Ice. The tents will be taken down and we will have to hope and pray that Brentwood's Holiday on Ice resumes next winter.
I would like to thank Lynn Roberts and fiancée Dirk Davis for bringing Holiday on Ice to Brentwood.
Personally I would like to see Roller Skating/Roller Blading in the summer and Ice Skating in the winter. Possibly Dirk Davis can create a modular floor so that it can be added in the summer and removed in the winter.
This would continue to provide entertainment possibilities to our communities as well as provide much needed employment for the employees who were only seasonal.

Update: Lynn Roberts responded to a letter I sent her with the following information.
"We needed more Sponsorship-Advertising partnerships. We did not receive more than 15 total this year, and our costs went substantially over budget for this, our first year.
We had 29,800 skaters in total. Over 125 parties, 25 of which were private ice parties. We had over 150 guests attend a Holiday Ice Show, and over 150 students take our Saturday "Learn to Skate" clinics. In many ways it was a success, but fiscally and personally the time involved was enormous for our family. Without any re numeration for ourselves, the fact is we just barely broke even.

Perhaps some community fund raising or City of Brentwood Sponsorship would make this event possible to return next Season!"
