ROLLER SKATING FUN AT WHEATLEY ARENA

Dozens of children, families and old-time roller skaters came out to Wheatley Area Arena on Saturday, June 4 to participate in Wheatley’s first retro roller-skating event.

Organized by Wheatley Recreation, the night was the result of a host of volunteers and sponsors.

Students from Wheatley Area Public School got a ‘preview’ skate on Friday.

Some skaters brought rollerblades, while retro roller skates were available for rental, with about 60 pairs of rental skates being doled out to skaters.

Plans are in the works for another skating night later this summer.
