Photos: Ice rink in Dixon getting close to opening

By Alex T. Paschal
Workers in Dixon devoted Tuesday morning setting up the ice rink in Page Park for the winter season. The rink, which was installed in early 2020, went unused last year because of several factors, but it is expected to be ready by Saturday if the forecast holds. Temps will dip into the teens and single digits the next three days before warming back up to the 30s on Saturday. This hard freeze should make for picture-perfect ice.
