LETTERS TO THE EDITOR — February 3, 2011

Thanks for best-kept secret

Dear Editor,

Thanks to an unexpected day off of school on Monday and an article that you ran in your newspaper several weeks ago, my daughter and I decided to bundle up and go looking for “Rockford’s Best-Kept Winter Secret.”

Based on the directions you had printed in your newspaper, we found it in no time and even had the privilege of meeting Mr. Bob Winegar as he was clearing the ice. My daughter and I (and her doll) had the ice pond to ourselves and skated until our toes went numb!

Thank you, Mr. Winegar, the Lions Club and the City of Rockford for making this ice pond a reality, and to your newspaper for telling us about it!

C. Potter, Rockford resident
