We had such a fun time cleaning up garbage in Hancock today! 🧤 We’ll definitely do it again when there’s a little more guarantee that Spring is here to stay. 😉 Keep in mind that you don’t need our permission or a fancy event to get out and serve your neighbors! Just go do it. 🏠💕

The rink is cleared off and the sun is out! ☀️ It’ll be a beautiful day to get the family out for a skate. Higher temps might have us melting soon so try to get out and enjoy the ice while it lasts! ⛸️

Be sure to share and tag Raising Rural Families if your friends/family groups are using the rink and you happen to snap a pic! We love to see the community support behind this project.

Marie Hansen’s daycare in Morris came over to skate and sled on Christmas Eve. ❄️⛸️

6th Street Rink is a little melty thanks to these above freezing temps!! 🔥

Let’s keep off the ice for a while until we can get a nice freeze again. Thank you for understanding and we are SO sorry for the inconvenience! ❄️

Free and Open Skate at the Lee Community Center in Morris until we can get outside again!! ☀️
