Abbott to headline at skating club show

ASPEN — Former Aspenite Jeremy Abbott, who finished fourth at February’s U.S. Figure Skating National Championships, will again headline the Aspen Skating Club’s spring show.

This year’s program is scheduled for May 5 at the Aspen Recreation Center, with performances at 4 and 7 p.m.

Abbott will also host a silent auction to support his Boys Fund — which helps offset costs for young skaters. A portion of the proceeds will go to the Aspen Skating Club’s competitors fund.

Current auction items include two round-trip tickets on Frontier Airlines, two nights at the JW Mariott Cherry Creek in Denver, two nights at the historic Broadmoor and dinner for two at the award-winning Summit, one night at the four-star Cliff House in Mani­tou Springs and VIP passes to Pikes Peak Country Attractions, including the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, and a bottle of wine from the Fleming- Jenkins Winery signed by Olympic champion, Peggy Fleming.

Last year’s silent auction raised more than $ 3,000 for the funds. For more information on the spring show, contact Teri Hooper at hoopertk@comcast.net.
