As you may know, construction has begun on the Outdoor Rink project and so far is on schedule. It is crucial that the contractor (MN Ice) hits the mark of pouring concrete on Rink 1 on 9/15 and Rink 2 on 9/21. If they miss those dates, they run into the possibility of bad weather that may not allow the set up this fall.

The city has asked the hockey folks to assist with volunteer labor. Anyone 16 or over and can do reasonable physical labor and is available on the following dates will be of great help. We can have people sign up for an entire day or do 4 hour shifts.

We need 5 full day workers on each of the following days.or 10 half day (or combination of). No construction expertise is needed.

Please contact Rich Brown ( rich.brown66@yahoo.com or 612-390-1894) if you are willing to help

August         24, 26, 29, 31
