Vegreville Skating Club, (VSC) presented its annual skating carnival to an audience of over 200 people at Wally Fedun Area in Vegreville on March 13.

VSC President Denise Gara said there were 42 skaters from the club who participated in the skating carnival as well as special guest skater Colton Foreman.

“VSC has been operating for 55 years this year. VSC always hosts a carnival so the skaters can showcase their progress and development throughout the year.

It was nice to have the kids out in the ice showing what they can do since we couldn’t host these carnivals for a few years due to COVID-19.

It was good to see the excitement of the kids in the older skating groups as they show their choreography. Participating in this carnival gives kids the ability to have the confidence to get out there and perform in front of a crowd and it is always nice to see the smiles on their faces.

We also host this as a fundraiser as we raise funds for our organization from the admission fee, flower sale, silent auction and 50/50 raffle at the carnival.”
