Farms, and now, the seasonal skating rink and Christmas tree lot has become an essential part of the city’s holiday season. The rink’s fifth season begins Friday, and over the years the Macedos have learned the ins and outs of managing ice during Turlock’s colder months, which can vary from sunny to windy to rainy. “Our rink is, of course, bigger than when we first started, and we have a covering now that protects the ice and our skaters,” said Karen.
