Bits & Pieces – The frozen Grandma and unfair word play

Nea and Sally at the Nelson Ice Center

The “Soundtrack of Spotlight” was a huge success last weekend at the Nelson Ice Center in Springfield. 

It was everything and more! The costumes were beautiful, the music was fantastic and the ice skaters were awesome. And they were right; you couldn’t help but tap your feet and wiggling with the rythmn. There’s just something about “Jailhouse Rock,” “Yellow Submarine,” and of course, “Dancing Queen” that stirs up a lot of happy memories of days gone by. It definitely was a fun show.
