HOT OFF THE PRESS: RINK UPDATE FRI. 5:47 PM

The "old guys" removing snow yesterday morning were Rick and Gary Walsh.   However, there have been many volunteers who have given a
hand over the past few weeks.

 Some of the people who have been there quite often are Brad Webster,  B.J. Cochrane, Steve Spurr, Donnie Caldwell, Evan Fletcher, and Dustin and Mark Gaudet, Scott Walsh, Shawn Johnson, as well as Mike and Brett King and Jeff Starratt.   There have been several others who have dropped in to lend a hand when needed to clean or flood the ice.   Jim Morine has also  volunteered to help tie skates and  supervise skating.  
The weather forecast is quite good for the next few days so there should be lots of ice time for everyone!  

  
Not sure if people realize that during the big thaw the volunteers took the rink apart and moved it!   They wanted to get it situated in a more level spot so they took the boards apart, lifted the liner and then put it all back together.   No small task but certainly an indication that they want the ice surface to be as good as it can possibly be!   Lots of hard work but a few laughs involved!   Lynda King
