There's nothing like an end of season relay race! Winners received Harry Potter Tote Bags and Scarves, donated to us by @broadwaychicago #CursedChildChicago. The kids loved these as well as the stash of free tickets to the magical play, we received too. Thank you & do come back!

Overwhelmed by the love shown by clubs across the country as they came together yesterday to observe a moment of silence in honor of the 28 lives we lost far too soon. ❤️⛸️
Thank you to @LiveBarn for giving our clubs a platform to come together and grieve.
