The Crookston Figure Skating Club is bringing you its annual Dreams of Ice program. This year, the skaters will be “Gliding into the Galaxy” with the help of the Crookston Parks and Recs Department. “The theme this year is Gliding into the Galaxy, so everything is themed space, planets, moon, and stars, anything related to the galaxy,” says Club Director Katie Morgan. “All of our songs are related to that as well. The backdrop is really fun this year, and we will have all the planets, and we will also have a space shuttle.”
Mark your calendar for this year’s Dreams on Ice show and come out to the Crookston Sports Center to support area skaters. “The dates are March 8 and 9,” says Morgan. “Saturday, March 8, will be at 6:00 p.m. and then Sunday, March 9, is at 2:00 p.m. Admissions is $10 for adults, $5 for any senior and students, any pre-school and under are free.”
For the skaters who are involved in the show, the Club is offering Family wristbands for the performances. Some families have multiple skaters in various age groups. “We have skaters anywhere aged from two, which is the youngest skaters in our Moms, Pops, and Tots classes up to about age 16 this year,” says Morgan. “We have about 75 skaters taking part in the show.”
What a great way to spend a few hours of your weekend. It is always fun to watch, and the kids love to have an audience. “It’s a great weekend if you know any skaters; Crookston Floral does do flowers and gifts for the skaters, “says Morgan. “They will deliver them right to the arena. We like to see a full crowd.”
Tickets will be available for pre-sale on Thursday, March 6, and Friday, March 7, which makes entrance into the show quicker. “Our doors open one hour each day, prior to the show, “says Morgan. “It’s really fun for the skaters to have a full arena so we really encourage everyone to come out and watch.”
