Richard Brandt of Lakeside Industries uses a steam roller on a layer of sand Thursday to create a level surface that will become the base for a temporary ice skating rink in a city parking lot along Front Street in downtown Port Angeles. The rink will be the centerpiece for the annual Port Angeles Ice Village, which would normally be held in the winter months, but was moved to spring because of restrictions imposed by COVID-19. Skating is scheduled to begin on March 19 and run through April 18. (Keith Thorpe/Peninsula Daily News)
