Although it looks like free passes to go Ice Skating on Frog Pond are now full for future weekends, you can still request your free pass for a weekday! I already went and it was (surprisingly) fun and not too crowded! If you live down in the Norton area, there will be free ice skating and cocoa on Saturday.
Also, the remaining Red Sox tickets go on sale at 10am on Saturday, January 25th! Just in case you are interested and need to look forward to spring 🙂
Hope you have a great weekend and if you know of a great local event that is budget-friendly that may have been missed, feel free to leave the details in the comments!
