Disco lights glittered from the top of the ice rink and skaters weaved in an out of cones, practicing turns, jumps and skating on one foot. The Olympic spirit was alive at the Apex Ice Rink’s skate party Feb. 10.
“It’s a great way for people to come and get a taste for skating,” said Kaitlyn Hamlin, one of the figure skating instructors floating across the rink to help young skaters improve skills.
The skate party was one several events Apex has planned to celebrate both the Winter Olympics and National Skating Month.
“This is an opportunity for us to get the community involved in celebrating the Olympics and growing the sports of figure skating an ice hockey,” said Katie Groke Ellis, marketing, community outreach and communications director for the Apex Park and Recreation District.
