Pikes Peak Classic and National Solo Dance Championships

Wow! The Pikes Peak Classic and National Solo Dance Championships were amazing in Colorado Springs!  I want to “Thank” Janna Blanter and Kim Hennessy from the Broadmoor Skating Club for inviting us to this wonderful event and to the rink staff for their help during this event.

Where to start, first it was wonderful to see so many friends from all over and to meet so many new people too.  Todd Gilles and Emily Samuelson stopped by to say “Hi” before they left to go to Michigan to continue their training.  We wish them safe travels and all the best with their training!

We also had a friendly face return to us, Olga from Delaware, who I first met at State Games of America 2009 at the Arena.  Olga was brought back to us by Carolyn Kruse, of the Broadmoor Skating Club, because her daughter did not have a dress to compete in, due to the Airlines losing her skates and luggage. (Check out the full story by Jo Ann Schneider Farris at About.com)  Carolyn took Olga and her daughter Jordan Noelle McCreary to our booth early that morning before we got there and Carolyn found a dress for Jordan to wear.  Thank you Carolyn and we are happy that Jordan had a dress to compete in.  Congratulations to Jordan for finishing what she set out to do, even when a challenge was placed in front of her. 

Where are we next?  We will be at the 2012 Midwestern Sectional Figure Skating Championships hosted by the Fort Collins Figuring Skating Club. November 15 - 19, 2011.  The event will be held at the Edora Pool Ice Center (EPIC), 1801 Riverside Drive, Fort Collins, CO 80525. 

The holidays are coming, are you ready?  We have great gifts for your skater and coach, we also offer gift certificates. 

For clubs that are hosting events, feel free to contact us for great gift ideas for your officials.
