Hey Kids! Shinny at the Kingman Rink every Tuesday starting at 6:30pm finished by 8pm. Drop in each week until the ice isn't great anymore!  A local coach will run through some drills and then you will play some good old fashioned hockey.  Kids of all ages welcome!  Parents are encouraged to volunteer to help out, please visit the rink Tuesday evenings to meet Justin and join in the fun!

Saturday, December 15th the Kingman Recreation Association grandly and officially celebrated Kingman's newest achievement, the Kingman Rink of Dreams.  Starting three years ago from a humble idea to get kids in the community back on the ice to now a community supported multi season facility.  The facility features an NHL regulation rink and beautiful building with change rooms, washrooms, garage and kitchen.  It is also home to our post office.  The event celebrated the many sponsors and volunteers that supported building the rink.  Hot dogs, hot chocolate and cake were served to all the guests in attendance.  A presentation by junior figure skaters and an Augustana Choir festive quintet were enjoyed.  The kids and adults alike got on the ice for a fun game of shinny, balloons taped to their helmets.  Once the balloon shinny was finished, folks got on the ice for a social skate.  A fabulous day for all.  Thank you to our committee organizers of the event and to all of our many volunteers and sponsors.  A wonderful gift for Christmas, see you on the ice! 

What a day!  The lutefisk supper was a smashing success. We served 85 folks at the noon seating and 352 at the evening meal.  That's a total of 436 lutefisk lovin' folks!  Thanks for supporting our community hall!  A HUGE thank you goes to all of our 100 wonderful volunteers!  Thank you for making pies, for making meatballs, for picking up lutefisk, for cutting lutefisk, for cooking lutefisk, for serving lutefisk, for clearing and cleaning up lutefisk and finally thank you for keeping our extended community's longstanding love affair with lutefisk going!  Lutefisk volunteers we thank you!

This years Waffles and Kids Market was well attended!  We had over 30 vendors selling a variety of beautiful homemade and tasty items.  The vendors ranged in age from 5 to 17 and have been working hard over the last couple of months to provide unique items.  New to the market this year were musicians sharing their violin talents as young buskers. The KRA breakfast team put together a delicious spread of sausages, waffles and toppings!  Our crowd of youth supporting community members was so large our sausage supply couldn't keep up!  No worries though as there were plenty of waffles and toppings for hungry shoppers.  Thank you to all our vendors and our dedicated kitchen volunteers.  Thank you especially to our Kids Market coordinator Faye!  Faye leads the kids in learning how to display items and interact positively with potential customers, she also organizes the whole market!  Her passion for youth entrepreneurship sure is spreading as the our hall was bursting at the seams. Thanks Faye and we hope to see our young entrepreneurs next year!
