In a time when people are tightening belts due to rising gas prices and market uncertanties, Salida Depot opened its doors and pocket book to sponsor an arena fundraiser (Rink Fest 2006), for the Becker - Big Lake Ice Association (BBLIA). The generosity that the Salida group displayed went above and beyond what is expected and sets an example for all of us to follow. With the effort of both the Salida group and BBLIA volunteers we held a successful fundraiser last Saturday that brings us one step closer to building an Ice Arena for the communities of Becker and Big Lake. Kindness and generosity are qualities that all communities strive to achieve. Knowing that those qualities exist in a community make living in them that much more enjoyable. Thank you Salida and all volunteers for doing your part in making this a better community.
