Sturgeon Point Annual Skate & Shinny is back again this Holiday Season!

by

Thank you to Larry Thomas for organizing the Annual Skate & Shinny again this year!

Better sharpen your skates, tape your sticks, find a helmet and stock up on Advil, it’s official, the shinny/skating times are booked!

Here are the confirmed times and venues. Lock them in your calendars!

  •    December 27 3-5PM : Fenelon Falls Arena
  •    December 29 11AM-1PM:  Bobcaygeon Arena (please note, this is a colder arena, so put on your wollies!)
  •    December 30 3-5PM: Fenelon Falls Arena

For those of you who haven’t participated before, we use 2/3′s of the rink for shinny and 1/3 for recreational skaters, little ones and UN observers. We play 5 minute periods split between younger skaters (roughly 12 and under) and the rest of the motley crew. This keep the little ones out of harms way and the old guys get a break every five minutes to catch their breath.

Contributions to the cause are as follows : $20 / family and $10 / single / day. Funds can given to me or my “agent” in my absence.

Feel free to share this with family and friends.

Please “join” on our Facebook page if you are going to attend!

Looking forward to seeing you all over the holidays.

(Please not that these are not SPA events, just the gathering of friends and family on the ice.)

Each open house is from 7 to 9 p.m., and will include information about each of the plans, and an opportunity to comment. There will also be special guest presentations on various topics, starting at 7:00 p.m. Check our website for details.

November 28, 2012 – The City of Kawartha Lakes with funding support from the Government of Ontario is undertaking a Cultural Master Plan and Mapping Inventory project. The purpose of the project is to leverage the rich cultural resources of the community to support planning and economic development, and to increase awareness of these resources for both residents and tourists.

Here is a blurb about these meetings from the City’s website:
