Remember when you were a kid and winter ice skating at the local rink was so much fun! We haven’t seen much ice this year, but that is not going to stop the talented skaters of the Greater Kalamazoo Skating Association. They will be pulling out all the stops, lacing up those skates, getting their glitter on, and getting ready to perform under the spotlights for a fantastic holiday show. There are two opportunities tomorrow. 2:30 and 7:00 p.m., to gather your family and drive over to the Wings Event Center for a delightful Holiday Ice Revue that features holiday classics, with pieces from Disney and Frank Sinatra mixed in. The family will love this bit of holiday fun and it’s very affordable too – tickets are $ 20.00 and kids under 3 are free! Who knows, this may just inspire you to dust off your old skates and try your own figure eights!
