The arena will continue this campaign until Sept. 16th. Your donation of an Adirondack chair is graciously appreciated.

We are preparing for a great 2017-18 fall and winter season. The administration office is moved to the second level near the manager’s office. The front desk office will be operated like a front desk reception. We have a new phone system with the following extensions:
