To our community - Thank you!

Last night, we had over 1000 people attend the Halloween at the Gipp Event! Here are some of the numbers of what was dished out for FREE due to the generosity of our many sponsors and volunteers:

Over 1000 people attended the event;
100lbs of beans were gone through within the first hour;
700+ hotdogs were handed out;
50lbs of candy was dished out;
750 bags of chips were eaten; and
an incredible amount of coffee, hot chocolate, and cappuccinos were had throughout the night.

Thank you to the CLK Schools for putting on such a fun Haunted House; thank you to the many amazing sponsors that helped fund this year’s feeding the community event; and thank you to the many volunteers that helped make this event so special for so many people.

More importantly, thank you to the community for showing up and showing out for something that continues to grow. We always love seeing the joy and creativity that this event brings as we continue to grow and improve it each year.

Sponsors: Peninsula Federal Credit Union, Walmart, H2 Lawn Service, Vollwerth’s, Aspirus, and the Keweenaw Health Foundation!

The Village of Laurium is extremely excited to have partnered with the Keweenaw Community Foundation via the CLK Youth Hockey Fund to help purchase more rental ice skates for the George Gipp Ice Arena.

The goal of the rental skate program is to help create more fun winter activities for members of our community, while also promoting ice skating and hockey throughout our region. The Village is excited to announce that it now has approximately 60 pairs of ice skates that can be rented out by the general public during our public skate sessions or private rental sessions.

We also want to thank Center Ice & Sport for providing us with the expertise needed to make this most recent purchase for our community.

The Village hopes to begin making ice in early November, and it hopes to be open for the general public by mid-November if the weather cooperates. Public Open Skate Sessions will begin during the following times once the season starts:

Friday - 6:00-7:30PM
Saturday - 4:30-6:00
Sunday - 5:00-8:00PM

Rental Skates Cost: $2.00 per session
Public Skate Cost: $3.00 per session
