Recreation Updates: <br /> Kellie Schmidt, Public Services Administrative Assistant addressed the Park Board <br />regarding Recreation Updates. <br /> <br />A. Fall Soccer Program <br />The 2019 Lino Lakes Fall Soccer Season concluded on Saturday October 26th with the <br />end of the season tournament! Twenty-three teams, consisting of 175 participants, <br />participated in 8 weeks of exciting recreational soccer! The season kicked off with a <br />Soccer Jamboree at the end of August and then moved to six weeks of game play that <br />started after Labor Day every Saturday. The end of the season tournament for 2nd - 5th <br />graders was held on a glorious fall day last Saturday October 26th. Each player <br />received a soccer ball, water bottle, draw string backpack, medal, and a picture <br />package as part of their registration fees. Once again the Lino Lakes Parks and <br />Recreation Fall Soccer program was a big success! <br />B. Little Goblins Party <br />On Friday October 25th Anoka County’s Wargo Nature Center and the City of Lino <br />Lakes Parks and Recreation once again co-sponsored the Little Goblins Party. Again <br />this year Wargo Nature Center provided the backdrop for 60 kids and their parents to <br />partake in a fun night of games, crafts, face painting, and refreshments. The children <br />all dressed up in their best costumes and enjoyed the amazing weather and partook in <br />activities inside and out at the spookily decorated nature center! Forest Lake and <br />Mounds View High School students provided their services as volunteers for the event <br />as well as the newly appointed 2019-2020 Lino Lakes Ambassadors. This continues <br />to be one of the best events of the year! <br />C. Gobbler Games <br />Saturday November 2nd is the 22nd annual Gobbler Games which is held at Centennial <br />Middle School.
