Fire and Ice

The Strathmore Skating Club hosted their annual Fire and Ice year-end finale show on March 21. The club prepared roughly 28 performances –solo and group.

“There was lots of positive feedback and those girls really worked hard,” said Cora Foldi, one of the event coordinators. “It was a good turnout this year. There were a lot of people. It was surprising.”

Guests were encouraged to bring a donation to the Food Bank – monetary or non-perishable items.

Even with 28 performances, there were more skaters than that would lead one to believe, as some of the girls doubled up on the ice. Also, the club brought in guest skaters from the Canalta Skating Club in Calgary – Jessica and Jackson Behiel.

“They’re very talented, so it was very cool for our kids to see that,” Foldi said. Jessica and Jackson each performed an individual dance, and then partnered up for their finale.

The Strathmore Skating Club participants involved, ages five to 18, still have two more competitions before the end of the skating season.

Foldi and the coordinators wished to thank all attendees, and especially the group dance coaches.

“We’re really grateful. Our coaches came out to volunteer their time to help our skaters, which was wonderful for the group dances – both the juniors and the seniors,” she said.
