18 WILMETTE LIFE March 8, 1929 Sports . and Other . Wilmette ·Recreation Board News 79,165 Attendance af Skating Rinks Here This Season More than twice the attendance, more than twice the days of skating, and therefore more than twice the expense, was the way Daniel M. Davis, director of recreation , summarized his report of the ice skating season just closed. Seventy-nine thou :;and. one huudred sixty-five. was the total attendance recorded at both ice rinks during the 57 days of skating at the Village Green pond and 53 days at the Golf course. The total at the Villag(' Green alone was 52,155 and at the Golf course, 27,010. Last year's totals \\·ere : Yitlage Green: 24 days, 2(,,650 at tendance. Golf cour~e: }(, days, 9,800 atten dance. Total: 40 days; 36,450 attendance . The above reports include the par ticipants in the annual ice carnival each year but not the spectators. More than 200 entries were recorded each of the two years for ·the carni val and the fete \v-as witnessed b_ , . several thousand on hoth occasion~. "This season's ice skating season has been outstanding in every way and, according to weather propheb. we ·shall not be able to equal the at tendance record for manv vears to come," Mr. Da,·is said. .-.O ·.dy eight days were unsuitable for skating fron1 the first freeze in December to the Februarv thaw which destroved the icc, and most of those da\·s tlte w~athcr was too cold, Or rain Or driving !-oliO\\' kept the skaters inside. The actttal skating season was from Decem hl'l' 22 to Februar~' 24." The tobaggan slide at the Villagl· Green is in a small \\'ay responsible for the added attendance this vear. Mr. Davis thinks, but the attendance there gradually f~ll off during the sea son and the public . preferred the . ice pond skating to tobogganing. Howcve1·, the slide will be tried another season before its actual worth can be ascertained. Two all time attendants \Yt:re em ployed throughout t lw ire season h~· the recreation hoard and several attendants were used to sho\'l'l suo"· nn part time basis during the season ;n addition to the work done In· thl' assistants of the recreation staft'. 'I'hi.., policy enabled the hoard to provide skating everv time the ice could he made in anv - waY suitable for skating. and membe.rs of the hoard annouth'C that \Vilmette had more daYS of skating than any other north s-hore town.
