Santa hits the ice in Hoffman Estates
Santa Claus and the Grinch are usually polar opposites when it comes to the holidays, but the duo paired up for a good cause Sunday at the Triphahn Center Ice Arena in Hoffman Estates.
The pair took part in Skate with Santa, which benefited the Friends of HEParks Foundation Scholarship Fund. The fund provides financial aid for low-income families to access park district programs.
Among the skaters were Mallory Swanson of Hanover Park and her 6-year-old daughter, Brooke.
“Seeing Santa on skates, that's different,” Swanson said.
