ALIDA - Alida was overtaken by numerous snowmobiles March 25 as the drivers had stopped for a break while on a rally route through the surrounding area.
I hope everyone had a good safe ride. The weather was surely on their side.
The Alida Recreation Board is planning a year-end event, the Alida Rink windup, on March 31 from 5-8 p.m. The kitchen will be open for a last chance for a rink burger for this season. Come enjoy an evening out with visiting, games of cornhole, cribbage or other card games. There will also be free skating. Hope to see you one last time at the rink.
Don’t forget the Alida Rec. Board’s third annual online auction on April 14-15. They are accepting donations, which may be left at Alida Post Office. All support is greatly appreciated.
