MISSOULA — To kick off the Halloween season lots of people headed to Glacier Ice Rink in Missoula for the annual Spooky Skate.
The costumes and performances were as scary as ever as people turned out ready to skate at the Halloween-themed ice skating event for the 11th year.
“We started this as just kind of a fun way for people to wear their costumes in a different manner we usually do it the Sunday before Halloween so it gives all of the kids a chance to dress up for Halloween," explained Glacier Ice Rink Executive Director Laura Henning.
The event was highlighted by games, costume contests, and a skating performance to Michael Jackson’s thriller by the Missoula Figure Skating Club.
The club encourages kids of all ages to learn figure skating and work together to put on a great performance.
“I think it was really good. I think we really worked hard on this one, It was a very quick experience because we only had two days of practice," dancer Peyton Pounds said. "So, it was pretty nice I felt like we did good for the amount of practice we had.”
The Glacier Ice Rink will continue to host different events and games throughout the winter.
