Shane Nickerson reported that the Ice Skating Area has been built but the weather has not been much help. The Ice Skating rink was repaired by Mr. Nickerson and Mr. B. Stager after a snow removal accident. But we have had some residents who took advantage of the ice rink and enjoyed skating already this year. The skating area is located next to the green bridge across from the fire hall; skating is free of charge.
