 On this week's Northwoods Adventure, Brainerd Parks and Recreation held its 52nd annual skating party. This weekend, and as our Clayton Castle tells us, it's a special event for the community to come together. Despite the rising temperatures and the melting snow, this past Saturday saw the 52nd edition of the Brainerd Skating Party at Bryant Park. This event is put on every year by the Brainerd Parks and Recreation and is a time for the community to come together. For them to come and skate and a way that the community can come together and, I don't know, become more of a community for say, building that community togetherness and maybe even brushing up on some skating skills. The party offered free food including chili from Wendy's, soda from Vikings Coca-Cola and hot cocoa even in the warmer temperatures. Now winter may be coming to a close with the higher temperatures and the snow melting, but that's not stopping the kids from having a good time. And as the party winded down in Bryant Park on Saturday, the city of Brainerd came together and became one in togetherness and unity. For Northwood's Adventure Clayton Castle, Lakeland News. Now the party is held every year around Valentine's Day at the Skating Brink at Gregory Park.
