These are backwards so start at the bottom and scroll to the top to view the pictures. I drove Troy up to Idaho on Thursday for some meetings and for the Mettle ground breaking. We had some rain on and off for the entire drive, but no snow and only a couple of windy places. The sky would darken and the rain would begin, but there was always a little patch of blue sky somewhere. Very grateful for the peak of blue sky and no snow on the drive.
Mettle is the basketball arena that Klint, Troy, Kim and Brett have put together for players to have a place to practice and play basketball in Nampa. It's been in the works for a couple of years and started out about half the size that it's going to end up being. It will have 4 basketball courts, 3 dance studios and a fitness/speed area. Hopefully construction will begin now and Mettle's doors will open in September just in time for basketball season.
It was windy and cold, but the sun was warm. The bank brought the shovels and tents and the man who owns the land brought in the sand and set the tractors up in the back, which I thought was a great back drop for the event. He told Klint that he would bring in some iron. It looked awesome.
Kim welcomed and thanked everyone who came and who was involved. He had someone from the bank and city counsel say a few words and then Troy and Klint took a minute and then they threw their shovelful of dirt. It was pretty fun and very exciting to see everyone involved and how much they were looking forward to making this happen.
