Winter was still hanging on by the fingernails, but the Sun Bowl Skating Club was celebrating “Sizzlin’ Summer” for its annual year-end show on Thursday.
As usual, there was a nice mix of cute little youngsters finding their feet on skates and more experienced skaters displaying their impressive skills and talent.
