For the second year in a row, Northfield Skating School students took the podium at the Farmington Spring Festival, an annual competition featuring skaters from the southern MN region. The event took place on Saturday March 28.
Anna Sheehan, an eighth grader at ArtTech, won second place with her Indian-style routine, and Elizabeth Penny, a sixth grader at St. Dominic Elementary School, earned first place skating to music from Harry Potter. Both young ladies take private lessons with Carey Tinkelenberg, Owner/Director of the Northfield Skating School.
