In a good way. Chocolate, orange and steel colourway. Get your tickets now!!!

(Also, all those parents in cold arenas freezing their feet off.) <div><br /></div><div>Hopefully I am going to be able to talk with someone at the arena in Cowansville and get the actual pairs of socks in a display case. For now, though, I guess I'll be handling ticket sales on an informal, individual basis. I am at the skating rink every week on Fridays for figure skating (4:15 - 5:45), and Monday evenings for Elliot's regular practice (6:30-7:45). </div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:130%;color:#000099;">Reminder: tickets are $2 each or 3 for $5. You can buy tickets for Novice, MAHG, Old-Timer or PeeWee sizes-- simply indicate your preference when you purchase the ticket(s). </span></div>kelli ann & loriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02385773697783816809noreply@blogger.com0
