The Ice Rink’s Old Blog
Never forget… we have been blogging for years!
John Pyne, the manager at the Kendall Ice Rink, has been blogging up to the minute details about the goings on of the rink for years! Long before we had our facebook in ship shape, or our twitter tweeting away, John was keeping his patrons informed about what was happening at the rink. Since its years of info, and full of fun photos, we are going to keep it live on the web, however this will be the new spot for fun Kendall Rink info.

Good times...
Welcome to the Blog!
It’s been much discussed and often thought about as to whether or not we should start blogging as a company. There is a fine line between good info the is helpful, and too much info, just for the sake of talking. We wanted to be really careful not to cross that line. The next question was “What the heck do we write about?” and “Will this be interesting to anyone?”
We have some fun ideas up our sleeves for 2012 and hope that you will follow along with us on this blogging adventure!
