This past Friday, Emmie and I took Bri and Kiff to the Roller Palace for a school fundraiser. It was the first time we did it and it turned out to be a great event.
It was excellent to see how far Bri and Kiff had come with their skating since last being here. Taking ice skating lessons certainly helped....but they got increasingly better as the night went on.
It was great to see them interact with their fellow classmates...and great to check in with parents, too.
However, it was slightly bittersweet because, after 37 years, the Roller Palace is actually closing this June. It had been a staple up here for years, much like Roller Kingdom in my neck of the woods growing up, and many of the parents at the school remember going here as kids. Wow!
It will be missed....but, if this is indeed the final swan song for an indoor roller arena and fundraiser here, it could not pick a better way to go out
