In typical Elizabeth fashion, the rink lobby was festively decorated. Families chipped in for pizza, showed off their costume creativity and hung out to socialize. Spurred by the popularity of the event, the club now hosts the party as a club sponsored event with ice time for skating, pizza, treats and prizes. Elizabeth continues to provide her talents and is joined by Kim Bercaw, club Social Chair, in organizing the popular party. This year RSVPs topped 100 members and families, becoming our largest Halloween Party yet. We expanded to 90 minutes of ice time for skating and included a costume contest. Summary of major events.
