Volunteers, family and friends of Start Me Up Niagara took a little time for some fun at the Wayne Gretzky Esatates Winery outdoor rink Thursday night.
The event was set up through parent company Peller Estates, taking advantage of the skating rink there to supply a family fun night. Besides the free skate, soup and chili were provided to supporters of the local charity.
