2022-2023 Little Norway II – Call for Volunteers

Little Norway II

As the cooler weather is upon us, many local residents start to think about fun afternoons and evenings on the ice at Little Norway II.  The weather plays a very big part in the timing and extent of the season, but there is another major factor in this time-honored tradition…volunteers.  There have been many wonderful volunteers in the past who have kept the little building open for skaters to borrow skates (no charge), keep warm by the fire, and purchase small snacks.

The Parks and Recreation will be looking for volunteers to help with the daily operation of Little Norway II for the 2022-2023 season.  If you would like to help bring smiles and laughter to so many throughout the chill of the winter season, then please contact Lauren Martz, Borough Manager, via email lmartz@selinsgrove.org , letter of interest to help: 1 N. High Street Selinsgrove, PA  17870, or by calling 570-374-2311.

Please reference “Little Norway II Volunteer” in the subject of any email correspondence.
