The Palmerston Skating Club is celebrating 45 years with a special event “For the Love of Skating,” on Feb. 16.
A special show featuring performances by 2012 Canadian Figure Skating novice champions Danny Seymor and Lauren Collins and pre-novice women’s competitor Quinn Wilson will begin at 2pm at the Palmerston arena. The show will also feature the talents of the Palmerston club’s own local skaters.
Collins, of Minesing, Ontario and Seymour, from Port Elgin, captured the novice ice dance title at the 2012 Canadian Figure Skating Championships in Moncton, N.B. last July, after finishing in eighth place in 2011. The duo have moved up to the junior level for the 2012-13 season and are aiming to compete on the Junior Grand Prix circuit next fall.
A ham and scalloped potato supper and silent auction will follow the skating performance. Adult tickets for the show and dinner are $22, with show-only tickets available for $10 and dinner-only tickets for $15. Children 12 and under can attend the show and dinner for $15, with children’s show-only tickets set at $8 and dinner-only tickets $10.
Tickets are available by calling Shannon South, 519-343-4899 or Danielle Schill, 519-343-4036.
