Twenty-three teams, consisting of 175 participants, <br />participated in 8 weeks of exciting recreational soccer! The season kicked off with a Soccer <br />Jamboree at the end of August and then moved to six weeks of game play that started after Labor <br />Day every Saturday. The end of the season tournament for 2nd - 5th graders was held on a glorious <br />fall day last Saturday October 26th. Each player received a soccer ball, water bottle, draw string <br />backpack, medal, and a picture package as part of their registration fees. Once again the Lino <br />Lakes Parks and Recreation Fall Soccer program was a big success! <br /> <br />Little Goblins Party - On Friday October 25th Anoka County’s Wargo Nature Center and the City of <br />Lino Lakes Parks and Recreation once again co-sponsored the Little Goblins Party. Again this year <br />Wargo Nature Center provided the backdrop for 60 kids and their parents to partake in a fun night <br />of games, crafts, face painting, and refreshments. The children all dressed up in their best <br />costumes and enjoyed the amazing weather and partook in activities inside and out at the spookily <br />decorated nature center! Forest Lake and Mounds View High School students provided their <br />services as volunteers for the event as well as the newly appointed 2019-2020 Lino Lakes <br />Ambassadors. This continues to be one of the best events of the year! <br /> <br />Gobbler Games - Saturday November 2nd is the 22nd annual Gobbler Games which is held at <br />Centennial Middle School. Parents and their kids team up to compete in some good ole fashion <br />competition by trying their hand at a number of games. Each tandem will participate in six <br />different games and their scores will be added up to see which team goes home with the big <br />prize! Target gift cards are awarded to the winners of three different age categories! Other fun <br />activities include the bounce castle, temporary tattoos, Turkey coloring sheets, drawings, and <br />cookies and refreshments.
