Naugatuck Ice Skating Rink: Hours of Operation
Some good news, too: a $250 grant from Walmart will be used to purchase a second hockey net, and another "Fire and Ice" event has been scheduled.
Naugatuck's new ice skating rink has scored a second hockey net thanks to a $250 grant from Walmart's Local Facility Giving Program.
The first net was donated by state Sen. Joe Crisco (D-17), whose district includes Naugatuck.
In an email Jan. 10 informing Naugatuck Park Commissioner Linda "gigi" Ramos of the grant award, The Walmart Foundation writes:
"We believe that your organization is doing important work to the communities you serve, and we are proud that we are able to support you in your efforts."
With the grant money in place, Ramos says, "We will be all set for stick and puck time at the rink."
