Jack's Skating Rink Harlan, IA
Jack's Skating Rink was in Harlan, Iowa and I could not find anything. But there were clues. Jack Schnack and his family including his wife, Shirley and children operated the rink. Since Jack died in 1984 in his sleep and he was only 67. He retired from operating the rink likely 5 years before that which dates to 1979. I am making assumptions however, this is likely this is the year of the rink closed. I have obituraries of both Jack and his widow, Shirley.
Everything is silent online. Anyone know about this rink?

Rinks that are closed are considered dead. Rinks that are/were sold and with new management names new name(s), the former are considered dead. Previous operating rink that closed but came back years later, are considered dead because the reopening is considered rebooted, nothing to do with the former.
