Treadwell Arena in Juneau will host free Turkey Bowling Nov. 20 and Santa Skate Nov. 27

Treadwell Arena in Juneau will host two free holiday events on consecutive Fridays this month: Turkey Bowling on Nov. 20 and Santa Skate on Nov. 27, the City and Borough of Juneau announced Friday.

Admission and skate rentals are free at both events. Rental skates are limited and go first come, first served, so skaters who own a pair may want to bring them.

Turkey Bowling runs from 6:45 to 8 pm on Friday, Nov. 20. The night is a free skate with a twist: skaters knock down bowling pins using a frozen turkey as the ball. The player who hits the most pins wins a turkey. The Juneau-Gastineau Rotary Club sponsors the event.

Santa Skate runs from 7 to 8:15 pm on Friday, Nov. 27. Skaters share the ice with Santa and his elves. The Douglas Fourth of July Committee sponsors that night.

The city calls both events annual favorites. It held them in each of the past several Novembers, and the arena lists them, along with a Halloween Skate, among its recurring special events. The arena says its special events are sponsored by local organizations or businesses.
