CONWAY — Skaters can rejoice in knowing that the Ham Ice Arena — known for two decades as the “coolest place in town” in summer — is set to reopen Monday, Aug. 2, after its usual spring shutdown.

The arena closed the last weekend in April and come Monday ought to be ready to go. The ice sheet was being hosed down Thursday morning by rink manager Dave “Woody” Woodbury when this hockey-loving reporter stopped by.  Helping Woodbury were assistant manager Mike Boivin, Kerri DeAngelis and Connor Finn.
