From the Feb. 29, 1984 Observer: “Just one of the many groups of very good skaters at the Flashing Blades Ice Carnival was the Rock and Roll group pictured above. The carnival was quite a success this year and well received. The group skating was intertwined with solo, pair and dance performances by the 150 local figure skaters plus the two guest skaters from Vancouver.” Image courtesy the Salmon Arm Observer collection from the archives at R.J.Haney Heritage Village & Museum.
