Skate Wheatley celebrates 50 years in style

Two full capacity shows helped Skate Wheatley celebrate their 50th anniversary in style on Saturday as the friendly confines of Wheatley Area Arena hosted their annual carnival, which was titled ‘50 Orbits Around The Sun.’

All the skaters were decked out in sun-related costumes and performed to sun-and-moon themed music, thrilling parents, grandparents and friends who were there to cheer them on.

From the youngest little ones performing for the first time, to the seasoned veterans doing solo skates, the arena was electric with excitement as showtime approached.

The arena lobby was decked out in memorabilia and photos from the 50 years that the club has been operating.
