An ice rink in downtown Gresham!

Annette Ejnik, owner of Pa’s Ice Cream Shoppe on Main Street purchased the old, rarely used volleyball court across the street from Pa’s.The Fall leaves had fallen and she wanted to make use of the property for winter activities. The idea of a skating rink popped up and with the help of a few people she made it happen in just a few days.

Gresham Advancement Association got on the band wagon and purchased a huge tarp that serves as a liner for the rink, The Villiage of Gresham leveled the rink site and the the Gresham Fire Department helped with, “Flooding the pond”. Local resident Darvin Pieper agreed to plow the snow as needed.

Annette said, “It was like the whole community came together to make it happen –“Prest-O, Change-O”!

Brian Carroll, Village Administrator was delighted with the idea of an ice rink. He said, “It’s going to be great to see folks skating in downtown Gresham. What a blast!” He went on to say that “ Now we just need  to be patient and wait for good ice.”
