Jennifer Faddis of Centerton and her daughter, Emma Faddis, 4, skate on Tuesday at the free rink installed for the Christmas season at Pinnacle Hills Promenade outside the food court. There is no charge for skating or skate rental from noon to 8 p.m. through Dec. 29, said Wayne Tarver, a skate technician. Hockey skates and figure skates are available. The surface is a plastic material with a sealant on top that simulates real ice. No refrigeration is necessary, Tarver said.
