Skating fun available for all at Forest Grove’s ice rink

Forest Grove’s own ice rink is once again up and running

Courtesy of Cole Abrams and Richard Bergen, Forest Grove’s own ice rink is once again up and running.

Cole – as did his parents Carol and Ron before him – and Richard also clear and maintain the ice and surrounding terrain, with help from Carl Ellis.

The ice field is located on Bakken Road, just two “plots” over from Legion Park, and includes a “chill out zone” with two benches and a small fire pit for non-skaters or those needing a break.

A small parking area has also been cleared, inviting those from a little further afield to visit and enjoy some winter fun.

Valentine’s dance

The Forest Grove Community Hall will open its doors at 6:30 p.m. on Feb. 14 for a dinner and dance event – with all profits going towards paying for a new roof.

Two Sisters Catering will serve chicken parmesan, Caesar salad, baked potato and vegetables, as well as a dessert starting at 7 p.m. and The Jammers will start playing at 8.

Tickets for dinner (to be purchased before Feb. 11) cost $25 for one or $20 each for two or more people. After 8 p.m., admission will be $10 for one and $7.50 each for two or more people.

For more information and to purchase tickets, call Wendy Clarke on 250-397-2452. Tickets are also available at the Forest Grove Legion and the Hardware Store, as well as from Ron Lister at Tasco in 100 Mile House.

Jamaica night

The Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 261-Forest Grove is getting ready to rumble!

At 5 p.m. on Jan. 31, all things Jamaica will become the main feature – from music, drinks and food (Wayne Gilchrist’s special menu) right down to a limbo dance contest.

There will be games and prizes, and anyone wanting to put on their dancing shoes is invited to do just that.

Make it a family outing or come on your own and enjoy an entertaining evening by meeting with friends and making new ones.
