Dust off your ice skates and get ready to head to Frankenmuth.

With the fall upon us and winter just around the corner, we have no choice but to try to embrace winter activities in Michigan. Yesterday, those in Mid-Michigan were given a new opportunity to enjoy some outdoor winter activities. Zehnder's of Frankenmuth will be opening up Zehnder Park for a huge ice rink.

How big will the ice rink be and where will it be located?

The ice rink will be located at Zehnder Park, which is right next door and to the south of Zehnder's. The skating rink itself will be pretty large coming in at 60 feet wide by 120 feet long. For reference, an NHL hockey rink is 85' by 200' in size.
