It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of one of our retired orthopedic surgeons, Dr. Charles Hubbard, a beloved member of the Carrollton Orthopaedic Clinic family and a physician who dedicated his career to caring for the west Georgia community. Everyone has a favorite Dr. Hubbard story as he touched countless lives through his clinical expertise, commitment to patient care, quick wit and sense of humor. Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and all those who were fortunate to know and work with him. He will be deeply missed and fondly remembered.

Carrollton on Ice Brings Skating Rink to East Carrollton Park

The City of Carrollton will host Carrollton on Ice – a seasonal open-air ice-skating rink at East Carrollton Park – from December 7 through January 12.

The rink will be housed under the Polar Pavilion at East Carrollton, 410 North Lake Drive, and will feature skating and a spectator section for those who enjoy watching the icy action. There will be a variety of food trucks on-site Fridays and Saturdays during Carrollton on Ice’s month long run. To access the pavilion, enter East Carrollton at the skatepark, then drive past the gymnastics center towards the baseball and soccer fields. Free parking will be straight ahead, adjacent to the rink.

Individual tickets are $10 each, which includes skate rental, card only, payable at the rink. Private rentals are available on select dates. Interested renters should contact Angela Boling at 678-390-7132.

Special events will also accompany the new arctic attraction:

Pictures with Santa: With this much winter fun, it is sure that Santa Claus will be nearby. Patrons can bring their cameras and snap selfies with old Saint Nick himself. December 14 from 12 – 4pm and December 21 from 2 – 4pm.

The Merry Market, December 14 from 12 – 5pm, will feature giftable items produced by local artists, creators and makers. Organizers note that the market is full and no other vendors will be accepted this year.

The new attraction is funded by visitors to the area via the city’s lodging tax, which is collected on hotel room rentals.
