River Skating
In addition to the traditional dance square, Fort Hold has the uniquely frozen Fort River to host people on. The ice is more than thick enough in most places for people to skate on and those that are too thin have been cordoned off or broken for the purposes of polar dips. The ice has also been sanded relatively flat for ease of skating. During the day the river is undoubtedly the Gather's main hub, with most of the shops lining the edges of the casual skating area, including a skate shop where those who do not own skates may purchase or borrow them. At these times any are welcome to skate, including children as long as they are supervised.
At night the skating area transforms into a softly lit romantic skate park for adults and is limited to those who are fifteen turns or older. During both day and night Harpers have a stage set up in the busiest part of the river to provide entertainment for those who would rather not risk moving too much on the slippery ice. Not that anyone really need fear for their safety on the ice - Healer Hall has assigned additional Healers for the event who are experienced with skating as well as ice rescue procedures. Fort Hold has spared no expense.
