Back in the 1940s they didn't spend a pile of money on hockey equipment or skating lessons. No need to drive the SUV to town to the skating rink. Just find an old pair of skates that fit and get out on the "big slough". In this picture from 1944 I don't think they even cleaned the snow off the ice. It must have been early in the winter before the snow got too deep. Probably right about this time.
I think about that picture sometimes when I'm working the land around the big slough.
I posted this photo on a history page I manage on facebook and thought it might be of interest here as it has a rural theme.
