Hokah, MN

Actually, it’s been open for a couple weeks now.  If you haven’t had an opportunity to go down there yet and swim, I would recommend it.  They have redone the bottom of the pool - taking out the weeds and putting in a liner under the sand to keep them out, and they put in a vollyball net.

The pool is open from 12-5pm Monday thru Saturday.  Regular admission is $3.

You can also get single person memberships for $40 or family memberships for $85.

Wednesday nights from 5-7pm, everyone gets in for $1.

This week might be a bit cool, but it does make for a great way to cool down on hot summer days.

See www.hokah.info/recreation/pool.html for more info.

Try blogging!  We could really use some people who can write about events and experiences in the Hokah area.  If you are interested, please email webmaster@hokah.info. Thanks!

The coset is $4.00 per address. Please be kind and considerate and don’t take advantage of those who are paying for the ads and have a sale and not pay that is not fair to the rest of those who paid. $4.00 is getting by pretty cheap. I will take care of everything. All I need to know is your Name, Address, and if you have any special items that you would like to have mentioned on the map. Maps will be available for pick up on Thursday after 5pm at Kwik Trip.

We are lucky to live in a small town where it is easy to enjoy the outdoors and the surrounding beauty.  Wouldn’t it be great to improve the recreational facilities we have, build new, and encourage more people to enjoy the outdoors? 

The U of M’s Experiment in Rural Cooperation supports projects that foster sustainable community development in the areas of agriculture, natural resources, and tourism.  The program provides technical assistance and establishes partnerships of learning and action between community leaders, citizens, organizations, and U of M faculty and students.

There is now an open gym at the Bluff Country Learning options bldg. on Tuesdays from 3:15 to 4:30pm! The event is hosted by Pastor David Possing, from the Community Church.

I had the opportunity to go to this this afternoon, and I had a blast! We played kickball and basketball, and we had some “open gym” time that you could do whatever.

If you like having a good time playing with kids from the area after school, consider coming to this next week!
