A local youth ice-skating program will culminate with a March 28 ice show for the public on March 25 at Pettengill ice Arena at 3 pm. Kathy Cain, one of the program’s instructors, said 70 skaters ranging from 4 to 14 will participate in the show, called “Mainely Skating.” The event will feature group performances accompanied by the music of Maine recording artists such as Schooner Fare and Devonsquare. Cain said a solo performance by one of the instructors is also planned. “Everyone is excited about this,” she said, referring to the young skaters. The ice show will showcase the skating abilities of young people who have participated in a community-based “learn-to-skate” program offered through the Auburn Recreation Department. Cain said the program, in its second year, is designed to teach young people the basics of ice skating and help more advanced students develop their skills.
