Residents in rural areas need to go the extra mile to enjoy some of the fun city folk take for granted in comfortably warm indoor facilities. Prior to the holidays in Nimpo Lake community members not only created an outdoor skating rink for a community New Year’s Eve party, but an outdoor curling rink complete with ice-block benches. The Baker family supplied equipment for construction and many hands made light work of building the facilities and preparing firewood for the bonfire for roasting hotdogs and other treats.
