Can Santa Claus and Frosty the Snowman skate? With all that ice at the North Pole, they must have lots of time to practice! Come see beloved holiday characters and talented local skaters perform during the St. Peters Rec-Plex’s annual Winter Wonderland on Ice.
Skaters from the Rec-Plex's ice skating school will perform to a number of holiday classics. The show will come alive with solo performances, synchronized skating and formation teams, up-and-comers as early as preschool-aged, advanced skaters, mature skaters, and special characters such as Frosty and Santa.
Shows are Saturday, Dec. 16 at 5 p.m. and Sunday, December 17 at 2 p.m.
