A Resolution by the City of Eveleth, Minnesota, naming Eveleth’s new sliding hill RRCC (pronounced rock) Run.
Whereas, Eveleth is a city on a hill in a snowy winter climate; and,
Whereas, nearly every adult resident has fond memories of afternoons spent whisking down slippery slopes; and,
Whereas, young and not-so-young alike enjoy affordable, family-friendly winter recreation; and,
Whereas, the development of a sliding hill was made possible by Eveleth Horizons, Eveleth Parks Commission, City Council, and Public Works staff; and,
Whereas, more than one hundred members of the Eveleth Community gathered for a Grand Opening celebration of the sliding hill on January 1, 2008, for an afternoon of sledding fun, building snowmen, sipping hot chocolate, and enjoying a cozy bonfire; and,
Whereas, 54 fabulous entries were submitted for a Name That Hill Contest; and,
Whereas, the Eveleth Parks Commission chose a winning entry that is descriptive of both the hill and its location; and,
Whereas, the name RRCC Run (pronounced “Rock”) was submitted by Sydney Karpik;
Therefore, be it resolved by the City Council of Eveleth, Minnesota that the sliding hill be named RRCC Run.
Passed and Approved by the City Council of Eveleth, Minnesota, this day the 2nd of January, 2008.
