On Wednesday’s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2,  Judy Jorgenson said, the show is produced by club members with support of the board of directors and the community. Over 40 skaters are participating in this year’s show, ranging in ages from 3-17 years. This show is directed and choreographed by the club professional and coach, Mark Vasarhelyi.

She said, Coach Mark brings his creative flare to the ice with the hard work of the skaters. Together, we proudly present a quality show for our community.

 

Coach Vasarhelyi, also on our show noted that he’s been in Jamestown the past 20 years, also the choreography for the annual ice show.  He has skated professionally, with Disney On Ice.

He says this year’s theme, The Great Outdoors highlights activities such as a Bear Hunt, Horseback Riding and more.

Again this year the Jamestown High School Boys Hockey team members will be performing in a number.

Judy adds, all of the individuals assisting in the production of “The Great Outdoors” are volunteers. Their time and efforts bring some of the best entertainment available to residents of the Jamestown area. It is with great pride that “we thank them for their help.”

She said there is a Special Edition of the Show Book this year, featuring color photos.

She noted that the Ice Show Boutique carries many gift items for purchase that may be given to skaters, or to purchase for themselves.

It includes a wide variety of balloons, fresh flowers, candy bouquets and many other items.
