Don’t miss Gliding Stars annual Ice Show!

Doors open at 1:30pm. The theme for this year’s show is “Into the Wild with Gliding Stars of Findlay.”

Gliding Stars of Findlay is an adaptive ice-skating program for youth and adult individuals with disabilities who practice their skating skills and rehearse throughout the year to present a show for the community. The program uses adaptive equipment such as walkers and modified skates to help provide the Stars the chance to skate. During the past 21 years, the program has provided opportunities for over 500 young people from throughout the region to increase their self-confidence and self-esteem, as well as develop physical strength, make new friends, and enjoy a sense of belonging. Forty-six skaters from Hancock County and the surrounding area are a part of this year’s show.

Over 64 volunteers, under the direction of skating coaches, assist the participants during the weekly practices and show rehearsals. Volunteers include students from the University of Findlay and area middle and high schools, area corporations and businesses, and family members and friends.

Ticket prices for this family-friendly event are $10.00 and are available at the door the day of the show.

Plus, support Gliding Stars by purchasing raffle tickets!  There will be eight raffle prizes all valued at $500 or more.  Tickets for the raffle are four for $5.00 and can be purchased in advance from a Gliding Stars parent or board member or the day of the show. Ticket holders do not need to be present at the show to win.
