A winter activity has been lined up for local youth as a 4-H ice skating event has been announced for the community. The event is being shared as a relaxed get-together rather than anything formal, giving kids a chance to enjoy the season and spend time away from screens. Organizers say the idea is to keep things simple and welcoming so everyone feels comfortable taking part.
The skating event is open to children and teens of all experience levels. Some participants may already be confident on the ice, while others could be stepping onto skates for the very first time. Both are encouraged to join. Volunteers connected with the 4-H program are expected to be present throughout the event to help guide younger skaters and make sure everyone stays safe.
Parents and guardians are also welcome to attend. They can skate along with their children or stay nearby and watch. Community members say events like this help bring families together during the colder months, especially when outdoor activities are limited. Similar local gatherings have drawn steady participation in recent months, showing strong interest in youth-focused programs.
Those planning to attend are advised to dress warmly and bring gloves. Ice skates may be available at the venue, but organizers recommend checking ahead or bringing personal skates if possible. Safety remains a priority, and participants are reminded to follow instructions while on the ice.
More information, including the date, time, and location, will be shared as the event gets closer. The announcement follows other community updates recently shared on the site, including a report on community funding support that highlighted local involvement and volunteer efforts. You can read more about that in the Community Service Infrastructure Fund Awarded Three Grants article already published on the website.
Organizers hope the ice skating event will see a good turnout and provide a positive winter experience for local youth. Residents are encouraged to spread the word and help make the event a success.
