With construction of the new Kalona Community Center imminent, the city is preparing to close down the current gymnasium in the near future. City Administrator Ryan Schlabaugh says the gym will remain open to the public until mid-November, at which time they will close it and begin liquidating its remaining assets in preparation for demolition. Some of the items in the gym available for purchase by interested parties include weight and exercise equipment, flooring, basketball hoops, and scoreboards. After the gym closes, YMCA activities will continue at the annex location at Performance Health and Fitness, located in Bulltown Plaza near Highway 22. Members will be able to stop by the present YMCA location to get a key to the annex facility from staff.
