This year’s Winterfest celebrations began with a ribbon-cutting ceremony Dec. 9 at Mulberry Fields Park. Town officials and other Zionsville residents attended the event. Immediately following the ribbon cutting, workers at the ice rink began preparing for guests’ arrival. Before long, members of the community began trickling in to enjoy the opening day of the ice rink. This year’s rink is even larger than last year’s, according to parks dept. Director of Recreation Services Mindy Murdock.
