Lake City Travel Tips & News December 2009 | |
|
The best gifts are not found at the mall.
Greetings!
Lake City loves its Decembers, a time when the kids skate at the ice rink, we get out in the sun and snow, we socialize and eat together. Things are a little simpler here. Maybe you should join us.
Come back home to Lake City. Treat your family to an old-fashioned small town holiday, and spend time with old friends and new friends.
The best gift is not money well spent, it is time well spent.

A December Chock-Full of Things to Do
The ice rink is ready for skating at its new, convenient location at the Lake City Town Park. Thank you to Ben Hake, recreation director for the Town, for all of his hard work to set this up, and to Jodi Linsey and Rob Fries for putting lights on the perimeter. Bring your skates!

Video Showcase: Lake City Ice Climbs
See the new Lake City ice climbing video on the Ice Climbing page at LakeCity.com.
This video features the Lake City Ice Park, which is located just one block south of town. A local non-profit, Lake City Ice Climbs manages the park, volunteering time to make ice and keep things organized, in cooperation with the Town of Lake City, Hinsdale County, and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM).

Early Winter Along the Rio Grande:
A Video Slide Show
November weather has been so pleasant here that we couldn't resist taking a day trip. This slide show video takes you along the Rio Grande river, about 30 miles south of Lake City. With the humans away, the animals were the only other creatures, offering an incredible glimpse into "the most remote county" in the lower 48. | |
