Ice Palace hosting tropical beach party

There’s a beach party Saturday at the Ice Palace at Riverfront Park. Between noon and 5 p.m., hula-hoop contests and games of beach ball relay will help transform the Ice Palace into a tropical getaway.

Wear your best Hawaiian shirts and flip-flops. Skate rentals are free, thanks to sponsorship from Group Health Cooperative.

Don’t forget hats and gloves – or perhaps something warm to change into once the “beach fun” is over.
