Iggy Gilbert, with Chapman Hill Ice Rink, holds a pair of worn-out rental ice skates on Tuesday that will be replaced along with about 100 other pairs of skates using money from the Durango lodgers tax. New skates were originally budgeted for next year, but Ture Nycum, Durango Parks and Recreation director, requested funding to get them as soon as possible because the ice rink is busy now.
