The City of Denison is approving a 2026‑2027 season agreement with Evan Cadwell/IRE Rinks South, LLC (IceRinkEvents.com) for the Denison On Ice downtown holiday rink, for an amount not to exceed 138,293. The declaration to extend lays out detailed milestones, including site preparation by October 30, 2026, installation in early November, opening November 14, 2026, and removal by January 10, 2027. While the primary seasonal rink vendor is decided, this is a significant recurring downtown activation that drives needs for ancillary services like event security, concessions, local programming, marketing, portable structures, and nearby parking and streetscape management. Vendors can position for subcontracting with the rink operator, or for City‑managed add‑ons around the event, and should also track this as a recurring seasonal contract that may be rebid in future years or expanded in scope.

Event held at 111 W. Main Street in historic downtown Denison and funded from Fund 071 and Fund 001.
