The new rink in LeRoy was something that was missing for a few years for the local skating club.

Jamie Oesch the president of the LeRoy Skating Club talked about how the kids would have to travel to other areas to skate and learn.

Oesch says, "It's great to see the community come together and get our heart back into the community. It's nice to have the skating back into the community for the children to learn."

This is the first time that the group has held a carnivial in the new rink.

The club has over 30 skaters this year which is a large increase from years past.

"It's a big number comparied to what we had in the past."
