The annual Skate Wheatley Skating Carnival took place on Saturday, April 5 with an afternoon show and an evening show. Both shows were packed with spectators, with a record-setting attendance of 628 people at the afternoon show. This year’s theme was Small Town, Big Heart: A Tribute to Wheatley. The Wheatley Area Arena was decorated nostalgically with popular Wheatley businesses and landmarks (past and present) as part of the giant set design.
