Glide + Gather Ice Skating Rink

12/30/2025

We’re so thankful to our amazing SPONSORS for making the McMinnville, Oregon Glide & Gather Skating Experience possible! Your support helped bring this vision to life and kept the rink glowing all season long. 🙌❄️

And to our incredible COMMUNITY - you truly made this experience unforgettable. During a season that’s all about connection, you showed up ready to glide, gather, cheer each other on, and create memories on the rink. ⛸️💙 We saw joy, togetherness and winter magic come to life. Your energy, smiles, and support are exactly why this event mattered so much.

Endless appreciation to our dedicated VOLUNTEERS who kept everything running smoothly. Because of all of you, this was a sliding, gliding, soaring success! This holiday season wasn’t just festive – it was meaningful🧊✨

We hope to see you all at the 2026 Glide & Gather Skating Experience.

Behind every great community experience is a business willing to invest locally—and EMPWR Nutrition is a perfect example.

EMPWR USA is a local private-label protein bar manufacturer whose products fuel people across the country, even if their name isn’t on the wrapper. What is front and center is their commitment to quality jobs, strong workplace culture, and investing in people right here in McMinnville.

As one of our community’s preferred employers, EMPWR plays a meaningful role in strengthening our local workforce. We’re grateful for their support of Glide and Gather and for the positive impact they make every day in our community.
