Ice Show 2024: More Updates

Skaters, for the opening number practice Monday, 4/1 at 6pm, please feel free to wear your favorite onesie.

Parents, we have some fun HUGE props this year for the ice show. Once the Sunday show is done, we will be discarding them as we do not have room to store them. If you or anyone you know would be interested in them (after seeing them of course), please contact Melissa Fletcher (tmmifletcher@gmail.com or 715-496-1379). We don’t want to give away all the surprises, but think Lego people, Barbie photo booth, Mario Bros tube! These would make great decorations for birthday parties or any themed party. Not everything will be up for grabs as we keep the things we can to be utilized for future shows, but if you see something of interest, just ask!
