Eagle’s 12th Night of Christmas community bonfire and ice skating party is the latest COVID-19 related cancellation for the valley. For the first time in nearly seven decades, Eagle won’t bid the holiday season farewell on Jan. 6 with its annual Christmas tree bonfire, the traditional 12th day of Christmas. Eagle began celebrating 12th Night back in 1953. The glow from the huge Christmas tree bonfire can usually be seen throughout town and the event has become a beloved, low-key community celebration. “It’s just a tough year to do this with all of our concerns with the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Eagle events manager Brian Hall.

The rink is located at a parking area next to the Edwards Field House and will be open to the public, free of charge, in just a few days. The facility is a project of Mountain Recreation. Project is the operative term there. It took a public process to approve the rink and it takes a lot of work to actually produce a skating surface. All this started several months ago, when Mountain Recreation came up with the idea.
