B. Clinics /Leagues /Annual Ice Show The Skating Academy's Ice Show was a huge success. With over 97 skaters, this year's show was the biggest we have ever had in the eleven years since they started. We are already busy working on next year's show, which is slatted to be Snow White. This may change depending on how much money Disney will want for the rights to the show. The Break Away Hockey League registration has begun with the league scheduled to begin August 16th. Roger's and Monticello will again participate in the league. The Women of Today sponsored the Jose Coles Circus this spring. Attendance for the show was a little bit better than in past years. Hopefully this trend will continue so that the Circus can continue to be one of our spring events. As mentioned above, I am still looking for a sponsor for the Zamboni. I have been in contact with great River Energy, Waste Management, Econ Air, and Connections. Besides Connections, I have not heard back from any of the other companies whether they have decided to advertise on the machine or not. Besides the advertising for the Zamboni, I have been working getting advertising for the new illuminate signs. I am working with Connections to place a sign under the scoreboard on the south side of the Olympic rink. C. Projects and Summer Repairs The center groove project in the Barn has been completed, besides the south wall where the shooting area is, all the walls in the Barn have been covered with center groove wood. The Barn now has a very appealing look, once the ceiling is repainted or covered the Barn will be well on its way to being remodeled. Some of the painting has been started in the Arena, we like to wait for the summer camps to end before starting on the high traffic areas. The yearly maintenance on the compressors is almost completed. The top ends to the number one compressors in the Barn and in the Olympic will be completed before the start of the fall season. We have remodeled the video machine area so that we can have some seating during busy events. We re-located the janitor room, which has made this area a great deal bigger. The video machines are now located in the Olympic rink. Our hope is that by creating an area where people can sit, they will stay at the Arena and purchase items from the concession stand. I am looking into the possibility of getting a wide screen TV donated from a local retail store, and tables and chairs from that are made from recycled plastic from the cities land abatement fund.
