The carnival theme this year was "Night on Broadway." Some sampling of music came from Broadway hits such as "Annie," "Cats," "Peter Pan," "Phantom of the Opera," "Oklahoma,""The Lion King" and "Fame." The club membership is approximately 160 skaters, most of whom participated in the car- nival along with Exeter's three synchronized skat- ing teams. The Novice, Masters and Adult skat- ing teams added a lot of colour and excitement to the production. Even the "Monday Night Adult Lessons" group gave an outstanding perfor- mance. The Carnival co -chair- persons were Kelly Holtzmann and Carrie Parsons. Without the direction and determi- nation of these two women this event would not have been a success. Along with these two hard working people were many volunteers helping with such things as costumes, decora- tions, lighting, organiz- ing skaters and clean up. Others who must also be mentioned are the dedicated skating coach- es, Patty Dougherty, Kathy McLlwain and Lauren Smith. This team of coaches put together entertain- ing and memorable rou- tines that were enjoyed by the audience as well as the skaters perform- ing them and fun was had by all. Congratulations to president Kelly Holtzmann, the execu- tive, skaters, parents and skating coaches for another successful year with the Exeter Figure Skating Club. Have a great summer and hope to see you all again in September. (Article submitted) The Exeter Figure Skating Club's annual carnival March 7 featured numbers from several Broadway hits.
