Northfield Skating School’s Olympics party and upcoming fundraiser

Northfield Skating School party at Beef O'Brady's I stopped by the Northfield Beef O’Brady’s on Thursday night to check in on Northfield Skating School’s Olympics party that Director Carey Tinkelenberg had organized.  I was a bit late and most of the younger skaters had gone home already but the older group posed for this photo with Carey.
