From an eagle-eyed JMSer: **Help Shape the Future of Ramsey County’s Ice Arenas** Ramsey County Parks & Recreation and the county’s Arena Task Force will host seven public meetings throughout November to gather input on current arena usage and provide the community a chance to learn about the work of the task force. Ramsey County currently manages 13 sheets of ice at 11 arenas, making it one of the largest arena systems in Minnesota. Earlier this year, the board of commissioners appointed an Arena Task Force to lead a study of the county’s ice arenas and make recommendations for a long-term strategy for the system.

Thanks for posting this! I live in Roseville so I will definitely try to attend some of these! I hope they can keep as many of these rinks open and operational as possible.
