MASSENA â St. Lawrence Centre mall officials are putting an empty storefront to good use, providing an opportunity for exercise and fun this weekend.
Roller skating and rollerblading sessions started Thursday and continue from noon to 4 p.m. through Sunday at the former TJ Maxx store. Hoverboards are also allowed.
The cost is $5 per person per day, and participants must bring their own roller skates, rollerblades or hoverboard, wear a mask and practice social distancing.
âItâs something Iâve wanted to do here. It just never came to fruition. Weâre going to give it a shot, try it and see what the response is,â mall Manager Erica Leonard said.
MASSENA â As fluffy snowflakes drifted down from the sky and laid a new white blanket on the ground Saturday, individuals and families took advantage of the wintry weather to enjoy skiing and snowshoeing at the Nicandri Nature Center.
The National Weather Service in Burlington, Vt., on Friday issued a winter weather advisory, with 6 to 8 inches of snow forecasted for Massena â perfect for the skiing and snowshoeing enthusiast, and a great opportunity to enjoy some outside fun in a COVID-19 world that limited recreational activities.
The trails were closed Friday because of the small amount of snow on the ground. But snow wasnât an issue Saturday.
