WORCESTER, MA - As the winter season takes its late turn, those looking for a little more icy action will be able to hit the rink for free.

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts (Blue Cross) has partnered with The Oval Ice Skating Rink in Worcester to offer five days of free skating.

The 12,000-square-foot rink at 455 Main St. will welcome adults and children, the latter of which will get complimentary skate rentals, for the third year in a row.

• Monday, Jan. 20, 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. (Martin Luther King Jr. Day)
