This is what is so great about New Hampshire and its' communities. An anonymous donor offered to cover the cost of repairs to the ice skating rink at Strawbery Banke so everyone can enjoy one final weekend of outdoor skating.

As authorities continue to investigate the possibility of vandalism at the Puddle Dock Pond at Strawbery Banke in Portsmouth, an anonymous donor stepped forward with a donation of $8,000 worth of refrigerant needed to keep the rink open.

According to their Facebook page, the Labrie Family Skate at Puddle Dock Pond will be open this Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 9am to 9pm each day! All thanks to the generous donation of a person who wishes to remain anonymous.

Officials say a valve to a chiller tank was opened sometime between this past Sunday and Monday morning, forcing refrigerant to spill out and causing the chiller to shut down. The possible vandalism means the remainder of the skating season had to immediately be cancelled. Officials say web cams at the location were in use and authorities are looking at the footage.
