Excited, Joseph Amodeo, 3, literally gets a taste of the hoopla as he checks out an ice sculpture of a gure skating pair (something we don't recommend in this cold weather). Mayor Rob Burton cuts the ribbon to of cially open the festivities as former Olympian and World Champion skater Jeffrey Buttle looks on.
