The Meadowbrook Arena was ablaze with color, energy, and excitement this past weekend as the L’Anse-Baraga Figure Skating Club (LBFSC) transformed its annual Spring ice show with this year’s theme of “Road Trip USA” into an unforgettable journey across America, dazzling a full house with every spin, glide, and leap. The club’s talented skaters, ranging from the tiniest Snow Plow Sam beginners to the polished Advanced Freestyle stars, offered a thrilling display of artistry and athleticism, drawing the audience into the spirit of a cross-country adventure with every number during performances on Saturday March 14 at 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. and, despite the pending snowstorm, Sunday, March 15 at 2 p.m.

Skaters zipped across the rink in a rainbow of colors, bold reds, brilliant blues, and perfect pinks, each costume carefully chosen to capture the heart of America’s musical landscape.
