Town of Peace River skaters are urged to participate in a flash back to the ‘70s.
Recreation program- mer Taylor Bak says Glow Skate will be hosted at the Baytex Energy Centre on Nov. 17, and it’s sure to be a great time for all.
“A glow skate is like a disco dance but on the ice,” says Bak.
“There is funky music, strobe lights, glow sticks, and black lights to illuminate white or bright clothing. Skating in style,” she adds.
Bak says the super fun event will be held from 5-6:30 p.m. and everyone is welcome to attend.
“The Town of Peace River sponsored admission, so it is free for anyone who wants to attend,” she says.
“We do discourage attendance if you are sensitive to flashing lights as there will be some on the arena glass.”
Glow Skate events are hosted twice a year, but Bak says to make sure to come out to this one or you will be waiting until March 9 for the next.
“What better way to explore recreation and physical activity than a free sponsored disco themed skate!” she says.
“I encourage anyone coming to wear bright clothes and get into the Disco Groove. It adds to the magic of transforming the regular ice surface to a rink of colours, skating, dancing, and laughing.”
Bak says people should attend to skate to shake up their weekend a little, to enjoy a fun time with neighbours and friends in a super fun atmosphere.
“It’s important to host events like this to give families something to do on their Sunday evenings, explore a fun way of physical activity, and a way to bring our community together,” she says.
“Plus, it’s free!” she concludes.
