Eisbahn Holiday Ice Skating Rink on Marktplatz - 11/28 to 1/3


Announcing a huge new fundraising event that will have you wobbly at the knees. In jeopardy of being a memory from holidays past, Heritage School has rescued Eisbahn, this popular seasonal ice skating event. Given its popularity, and with the majority of proceeds now benefiting Heritage School, you could say it’s part fundraising, part community service. This is quite possibly the biggest fundraising opportunity Heritage School has ever had, and it has the potential for an even bigger reward. Please call 830/992-9659 or 830/997-6597 for more information.
