GLT Datebook: Skaters Rock The Ice

Central Illinois Figure Skating Club

It's heating up outside.  But at the Pepsi Ice Center in Bloomington, everything's cool.

  • The Central Illinois Figure Skating Club presents their 2016 Spring Ice Show on Saturday, May 14 at 5:30p.m. at the Pepsi Ice Center in Bloomington. 
  • The theme for this year's show is "The Beat Goes On," which features the skaters performing to popular music from the past 50 years.
  •  One of the featured soloists is Alex Wellman, who earned a silver medal at this year's U.S. Figure Skating Championship.
  • Many of the youngest performers are three to four years old, and they will skate to The Beatles' "Yellow Submarine."
