Figure skaters with the 100 Mile & District Figure Skating Club took one last spin around the ice March 10 before hanging up their skates for the season.
Nearly 40 members participated in the club's year-end skating skills competition, which featured competition solos and demonstrations of skills learned during the course of the year.
The event held all of the glitz, glamour and excitement of a figure-skating competition, with judges ranking the skaters' performances and medals awarded at the end.
"It was amazing," says club president Jen Plewes, indicating the competition was a perfect finale for a successful season.
"On a scale of one to 10, this year was a 10. We're pretty proud of how we did. It was lots of work and lots of effort, but worth it."
While parents might be looking forward to a break from the arena, Plewes says many of the skaters were sad to see the season end.
"There were some tears."
Everyone who participated in the skills competition went home with an award, and winners from first to fifth place in the Pre-preliminary Solo event were Brittany Boyd, Courtney Dolinski, Michaila Robinson, Amber Poirier and Paige Archie.
In Pre-elementary Solo competition, Haley Plewes was first, Mikayla Julseth was second and Hannah Duff was third.
