The Annual Fort Collins Figure Skating Club Banquet will take place on Saturday evening, February 24th, 2024 at the Fort Collins Country Club, 5:30pm-9:00pm!

The club banquet is a way that we recognize our skaters, from our young developing Learn to Skate members up to our graduating high school seniors and our hard working adult skaters! We share our appreciation for our coaches, volunteers and our families by recognizing all our accomplishments over the past year. The banquet is a way to celebrate one another and look forward to all that is coming ahead. Plus it is a fun evening to socialize and get to know one another away from the ice rink.

We will have dinner catered by the Fort Collins Country Club which will include appetizers, a buffet dinner, desert and a cash bar. We will also have a raffle for some fun prizes including an E-Bike and 3 25 visit skate passes! We will have a wonderful slideshow, music and a photo booth for people to take pictures.

Attire is "cocktail party chic" and dancing is encouraged!...
