Hello fellow Kingmanites! Hopefully everyone came through this recent cold snap and are looking forward to warmer weather, longer days and more ice time!
Upon review of our current finances, the Kingman Recreation Association has moved ahead with the request to charge a small user fee for the rink. Unfortunately, costs have risen and revenue has fallen which has brought us to this situation.
Our requested fees are:
Yearly Family Rate: $100/year
Yearly Individual Rate: $50/year
Single Family Rate: $10/use
Single Individual Rate: $5/use
Please either give to Colleen or Sharon at the post office during business hours or e-transfer to: kingmanrecreation@gmail.com
Thank you all and we appreciate your understanding. Stay safe and have fun!
The long awaited day is here! The Kingman ice is complete and we welcome skaters to the rink! Please be advised that due to Covid restrictions, the building (lace up area and washrooms) are closed until further notice. We would respectfully request that all visitors follow Alberta Health Services guidelines in order to protect our fellow community members. Also, donations towards upkeep and maintenance and future use and enjoyment are always gratefully accepted. If you wish, please send donations to Kingman Recreation Association c/o PO Box 76, Kingman, AB T0B 2M0 or slip a cheque or cash in an envelope under the post office door with reference to the KRA. Thanks all and enjoy!
All community members are invited to the KRA Board Meeting to be held on Tuesday, June 9 at 7:00 at the Kingman Community Hall.
Time to get on that lawnmower again and help keep the Kingman Hall area looking neat and groomed! We are looking for one family a week to cut the grass and do the trimming around the arena. It would take 2 people about 3 hours. The KRA will provide the equipment and fuel - you provide the people power! Please contact Adele at 780 662-4867 if you would like to take a week. The mowing is usually done (weather dependant) on Thursdays in order to have it completed by the weekend.
Unfortunately due to the warm weather conditions this past week, the rink has deteriorated to the point where kids' Tuesday night pond hockey is unable to continue. Also, the rink will not be cleared off if snow falls so if there is snowfall, any users will be responsible to clear off the snow. Thank you all for a fun (if not short) rink season! Please remember to watch this page for notices regarding updates for the rink and the arena in the spring!

Saturday, December 15th the Kingman Recreation Association grandly and officially celebrated Kingman's newest achievement, the Kingman Rink of Dreams. Starting three years ago from a humble idea to get kids in the community back on the ice to now a community supported multi season facility. The facility features an NHL regulation rink and beautiful building with change rooms, washrooms, garage and kitchen. It is also home to our post office. The event celebrated the many sponsors and volunteers that supported building the rink. Hot dogs, hot chocolate and cake were served to all the guests in attendance. A presentation by junior figure skaters and an Augustana Choir festive quintet were enjoyed. The kids and adults alike got on the ice for a fun game of shinny, balloons taped to their helmets. Once the balloon shinny was finished, folks got on the ice for a social skate. A fabulous day for all. Thank you to our committee organizers of the event and to all of our many volunteers and sponsors. A wonderful gift for Christmas, see you on the ice!

Lefse with the Kingman Historical Society

11/14/2018

The Kingman Historical Society led lefse making day early this week, in preparation for the Lutefisk Supper on December 7th. It was a busy day of mixing, rolling, packing and or course snacking! There was a crack team of experienced lefse makers guiding the less experienced but youthfully exuberant assistants from the local school. Thank you to all of our volunteers!
​If you love lefse as much as we do, you can get a taste of our fine work at the Lutefisk supper AND it will be available for purchase at the Kingman Museum on December 7th. Not only will Lefse be available at the museum but so will other Scandinavian treats and lutefisk. Make your Scandinavian Christmas meal complete!
