Due in no small part to Good Neighbour Jim&#8217;s hard work, the Nairn St. Arena is opening on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>This year&#8217;s rink is quite a bit bigger than last year&#8217;s, it&#8217;s now 80 x 40 feet.  That&#8217;s about 20 feet longer and 13 feet wider than last year.  That&#8217;s a big surface let me tell ya.  I&#8217;m not looking forward to the water bill next month, let&#8217;s say.  It is approaching perfection at the moment, just a few stubborn spots to iron out before Sunday&#8217;s festivities.  A good skate with a few people always knocks down the rough patches anyway, so that should be just fine.  I will try to get some rink construction photos posted so you can appreciate just how much freaking work Jim did.<\/p>\n<p>Btw, if you are interested in taking part in a skate on Sunday afternoon, the shinny is scheduled to start at 2pm, kids and grownups are welcome.  Bring your hockey sticks and jerseys if you have them.<\/p>\n<p>See ya.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi kids.
