This is amazing. Uh, ice is so desperately needed in the northern part of the valley, and this is really going to make, um, the Big Lake Lions Rec Center a year-round facility for our young athletes to get out there and spend time you know, doing healthy activities, time with their parents, interacting and just building relationships.
