Sleds not required! When the Seeley Lake Lions Club pond got a little too sloppy for skating, Seeley Lake Elementary fourth graders Kaelinn Wood, Sera Benton, Cerenity Hjorth took to the slopes at the annual Lions Club Ice Skating Party Sunday, Jan. 27.
An impromptu skate race headed across the pond early in the afternoon before the ice really started to melt.

Everyone enjoyed a lunch of hot dogs, chili, cookie, hot drinks and soda. All of the goodies and skates were provided by the Lions Club at no cost.

SEELEY LAKE – With temperatures in the sun reaching close to 50 degrees, children and adults quickly shed the extra layers as they took to the ice on skates or enjoyed sledding around the Lions Club Pond at the annual Lions Club ice skating party Sunday, Jan. 27. With nearly 70 in attendance, there was never a dull moment with impromptu skate races and sledding fun. When attendees needed to refuel, hot dogs, chili and cookies hit the spot.
To add to the fun, Lion and park manager Bobby Maddox took to the ice two times during the event tossing candy for a candy scramble. He was amazed how much the ice was melting.
"I had a blast and I hope everyone else did too," said skate park manager Bobby Maddox. "It was a great turn out."
