Bring a Friend Day Event and Exhibition a Success!
On Sunday, Nov 20, we welcomed dozens of new skaters to the Northfield Arena for the Northfield Skating School’s annual Bring a Friend Day. Parents, siblings, neighbors, and friends enjoyed a lesson with an NSS coach and time to learn new skills with their friends. Lessons were followed by a special exhibition of competitive skaters from the Northfield Skating School and guest skaters who train with NSS coaches at the St. Paul Figure Skating Club and Eagan Ice Crystal Figure Skating Club. See more photos on our photos page.
