My 8th Open, can’t believe it!

Thank you to everyone who stopped by we made some new friends and got to visit with a whole bunch of our friends!

First of all thank you to all our loyal and trusting friends! We appreciate your support and always enjoy seeing all of you.

We had a chance to visit with Morgan and Mariah Bell always a pleasure and we wish them the best of luck this season.  We saw Jennifer Gruver who was just accepted to Disney on Ice and we are looking forward to following her this next year.  Along with Jennifer we saw McKenzie Pedersen who was also accepted to Disney on Ice.  Good luck to both of you and we hope to hear from you while you are on tour!

Mom was busy this competition beading dresses while we were there.  One of the dresses mom stoned was for our friend who was doing the Pink Panther, with her own version of Pink and Black! Another one of our customers that we helped to dress while we were there was Gabi, she looked great in a new JNS dress that she wore for competition. She did a great job and Gabi and her mom Kim were so excited to show us the end result!

We would also like to extend our thoughts and prayers to the firefighters, families, businesses and all affected by the fires burning though Colorado right now.  We were still down in Colorado Springs when the Waldo Canyon Fire started and could see it from the World Arena.

What’s next, we are shifting gears and getting ready for the 2012 Vail Invitational and Vail Mountain Fun Competition held at the Dobson Ice Arena, Sponsored by The Skating Club of Vail. We will be up there starting on July 11 for the test session and going through July 15.  If you would like us to have your order ready for you just send us an e mail or give us a call.
