Things to do in Isanti

I thought I would post some of the information about current and upcoming activities in the City of Isanti.

Rum River BMX has done a great job the last few years. This year they have landed a national 3 day event that will bring thousands to Isanti. To learn more about this great group... http://www.rumriverbmx.com/index.html

The Isanti Red Birds provide great entertainment. Our City baseball team games are free to the public and fun to watch. Check them out this summer... http://hometeamsonline.com/teams/?u=ISANTIREDBIRDS&t=c&s=baseball&p=home

The David C. Johnson Ice Arena plays host to many events from the Circus, home show, numerous hockey games including the Cambridge Isanti Youth Hockey Association. Isanti's outdoor hockey rink also host the youth hockey group. This is a regional draw facility that is totally funded by the Arena itself. Great example of a community asset... http://isantiarena.org/index.html

The next great community asset is the Cambridge/Isanti soccer complex, yes I wish the names were reversed, which host tens of thousands of players and parents each year. All the way from 4 year olds to high school are on these fields nearly every night starting in spring and running through to the fall. For more information http://www.cambridgeisantisoccer.net/

The Isanti Rodeo in conjunction with the Isanti Area Chamber of Commerce Jubilee Days draws thousands and thousands to Isanti. The Isanti Rodeo Association has raised over $900,000 for fire and rescues activities. A corner stone of our Great City's identity is the Rodeo and all its corresponding activities. I look forward to seeing everyone again at the Rodeo and Jubilee Days events. To learn more about the Rodeo go to http://www.isantifiredistrict.org/isanti_rodeo_assc_

To learn more about our Great Chamber and their numerous business and community events go to: http://www.isantichamber.com/

The Community Involvement Team host wonderful City functions such as the Snow Flake Skate, Old Tyme Dance, Bike Rodeo, Sockhop & BBQ, Take a Kid Fishing Day and so many more too numerous to mention them all. Check the Isanti City website calendar page for more information: http://www.cityofisanti.us/calendar.php?

There are many more that I have not listed but I wanted to make the point we have so much to offer in our Great City. Many of these, thankfully, help encourage activity so Isanti can live up to its designation as a Governors Fit City.
