On December 21st, Eatonia was given the chance to celebrate the 80’s with their Family Skate Night.

Guests could make their way to the Eatonia Memorial Arena, and for only $5 per person, they could enjoy 3 hours of carefree family skating set to classic 80’s music.

Darren Donaldson, who helped put the event together, explained that there was no grand purpose to this event, and that it was simply put together to let families have some fun.

Hot chocolate was available to the skaters, who were encouraged to dress up as their favourite 80’s characters.

Donaldson, who along with his wife served as the Djs for this event, explained that this was the first time ever that the “Back to the 80’s” skate night was held, and that he is hoping to be able to do it again sometime if enough people show their support.

With the busy season that the holidays create, it’s nice to take an evening to slow down and spend some quality time with the family.
