RICHMOND, Va. – You don’t have to be the next Debi Thomas, Nancy Kerrigan or Michelle Kwan to enjoy RVA on Ice.

The ice ring just kicked off its sixth season on Nov. 25, and will remain open through Jan. 3, 2016. It could be one of the few things about cold weather worth enjoying. Besides, if Nutzy enjoys it this much, then isn’t it worth a shot?!
