The Annual Valley East Figure Skating Club’s Exhibition is a celebration of months of preparation and skill development by coaches and young skaters. This year’s show was entitled, “An Afternoon With Oscar”. The skaters shared some of the highlights of the film and music industry which have provided people with many memories over the course of the years.
