Gadsden adds ice bumper cars for Christmas on the Coosa

Gadsden, AL – It may be too hot for winter to be on your mind, but the City of Gadsden is
already thinking ahead with the addition of ice bumper cars for this year’s Christmas on the
Coosa.
“We’ve had an incredible response to Christmas on the Coosa since we started it two years
ago, and last year we improved the experience with a real ice rink. This year, we’re adding ice
bumper cars,” said Mayor Craig Ford.
“Some people may not want to get out there and skate, but everyone can have fun on these
bumper cars,” he added.Coosa
The bumper cars will be available from Nov. 1 until Thanksgiving, when the ice rink will
transition to full-time ice skating.
The city considered renting the equipment, but purchasing 12 bumper cars only raised the
price by 20 percent. The investment is expected to pay off in less than two seasons.
Christmas on the Coosa is located at Riverside Park, 344 1st St.
In addition to ice skating, it includes food and drink vendors, fire pits, musical performances,
and a great view of the city’s Christmas tree, which is one of the largest in the state of
Alabama
