Krista Waddell, left, and her 5-year-old daughter, Aribella, get ready to join Ian Donselaar, 18, center, on RVA On Ice’s skating rink located at the 17th Street Farmers’ Market near Main Street Station. Sponsored by Capital One, the rink quietly opened just before Thanksgiving at its new location. It’s official opening will be Friday, Dec. 1. The rink will be open seven days a week before wrapping up the season on Monday, Jan. 21, Martin Luther King Day. “Rock the Rink” parties are scheduled for 8 to 10 p.m. Saturday nights in December and January. On most days, the rink and skate rental tent open at 3 p.m.; however, skating begins at 11 a.m. on Saturdays and Sundays.
