Relax at the Movies

There is nothing better than watching a good movie on a cold day, and around the holidays are when many new movies are released. “Ralph Breaks the Internet,” “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse,” “Mary Poppins Returns,” and “Bumblebee” are only several hitting the big screen very soon at a theater near you!

Hit the Ice-Skating Rink

It isn’t winter without ice skating. Spend an afternoon with the family at Swonder Ice Arena in Evansville, IN or Edge Ice Center in Owensboro, KY. Never ice skated before? No problem.

Let this winter be a time of learning and fun on the ice rink for the entire family!
