About 110 people spent the first day of 2002 on ice - skating at the Hagerstown Ice & Sports Complex.
"It was cool. But then I fell down flat on my face so many times," said Jordon Edlund, 5, of Hagerstown. Jordon was learning to skate Tuesday so he can play hockey.
There was music, food, and broomball, at the New Year's Day skate at the rink on Security Road. Broomball is like hockey but played with broom sticks and a ball instead of hockey sticks and a puck.
About 60 people skated into 2002 at the New Year's Eve Skate Monday night, which had similar activities, rink Executive Director Dave Bayles said. He said most of the skaters were children and teenagers.
