Mini golf preferred to ice cream

1 min read

As a Gizzy local I’m concerned, what will happen to our beloved mini golf course that is part of our current i-Site? 

I’m not against the i-Site moving, but I’d rather play a nostalgic game of mini golf over an ice cream, for the same price I might add. 

A new mini golf course would be a delight if that’s in the plans, but I am very concerned our town is going to lose one of its most underrated community assets.
