Howdy!
It's been a busy few weeks around the Valley, but the dust is settling & it's time for an update. Thanks to everyone who visited us during the vacation weeks; we had a great turn-out for our evening programs. Big Congratulations to our 3-on-3 B-ball Tourney Winners!
In the downtime (haha!), we passed our annual gym inspection (ropes, cargo net & hoops - still safe to enjoy!) & hosted the Special Olympics NH Winter Games floor hockey competition. For those who don't already know, Waterville Valley Resort is home to SONH winter games. Congrats to all the athletes & a sincere "thank you" to all the volunteers.
Last night, the Recreation Department hosted WV's Annual Town Meeting in our gymnasium. Thanks to the generosity of our resident population, we will be moving forward with the installation of an indoor climbing wall. It'll have 3 vertical routes, plus a horizontal traverse. We couldn't be more excited! It's going to take some time to install, but (fingers crossed) we hope to have it up & running for Summer 2011! Look for "Open Climb" times, public rentals, birthday parties & more to come from our newest addition!
And, for those wondering about the Ice Arena: The Town passed the motion to "long-term lease, with the option to buy" the arena to The Hockey Academy. Here's to wishing the best, for a successful venture, to all involved.
Ok. Spring. This weekend is the magical time of year when we adjust our clocks forward an hour! (Don't forget!) Well, we lose that hour (bummer), but it's just one more sign that we are well on our way towards Summer! On Wednesday, March 16, we are taking a bus trip to the Boston Flower & Garden Show. We've got a handful of seats left on the bus, so sign-up (what are you waiting for?)!
On March 20, we are co-hosting an event with The Waterville Academy for the Future Stars athletes. We are looking forward to a great evening of gym games, laser tag & ice cream! Maybe we'll see you here!
Winding down on Spring, we have our Easter Weekend activities on Saturday & Sunday, April 23 & 24th. Visit with the Easter Bunny, decorate a basket or bonnet & race around the Rec searching for eggs! Guaranteed fun!
Last but certainly not least: March is bustling with Rec Staffer birthdays! Help us spread the love by wishing a very happy birthday to the Rec Dept's very own Eliza (March 4), Tucker (March 5) Krista (March 10) & Katie (March 24)!
