The Sun Bowl Skating Club will be presenting their 2023 Holiday Showcase at the Sun Bowl Arena on Thursday, December 21 2023. 

“All of our skaters and coaches have been working hard to get our Star 1 and up skaters ready for our annual holiday celebration,” said Patricia Fortunato, Head Coach of the Sun Bowl Skating Club. 

“Be sure to come out, show your support, and see what we have been up to so far this season!” she adds.
