Browning draws crowd to Gananoque's Gord Brown Rink

The former world champion figure skater was the outdoor facility for a meet and greet.

World Champion Figure Skater Kurt Browning was on hand despite the cold temperatures for a meet and greet skate at the Gord Brown Memorial Canada 150 Rink Wednesday night. 

Skaters of all ages took to the outdoor rink, which was in great condition, to meet Kurt and learn a few things to improve their skating abilities. 

He, along with Multi-time Figure Skating Gold Medalist Jeff Buttle will be on hand today and tomorrow for skating seminars in Gananoque at the Lou Jeffries Arena. 

The public is welcome to attend to watch the lessons today and Friday, which run from 8am until 5pm. 

The event is also partially funded by the Municipal Accommodation Tax approved by the Tourism Advisory Panel and is free to attend.
