Last year my husband and I had the honor of attending the Musselman’s Apple Sauce Family Skating Tribute in State College Pennsylvania. We had a great time at the event and were super excited to be invited back again this year, courtesy of Musselman’s.
The event was held at the Pegula Ice Arena in State College which is a two hour drive from my home. During the Autumn season we love taking the drive up so that we can see all of the beautiful Fall Foliage that Pennsylvania has to offer. Just like last year, we booked hotel rooms and decided to make it our mini vacation for the season.
The musical guest for the event was Amy Grant who is one of my husband’s favorite music artists. She was fabulous and we enjoyed seeing her and listening to her sing. If you have never seen Amy Grant live in concert before, we highly recommend it!
The TV Hosts for the event were Kristi Yamaguchi and Michael Weiss. They were the hosts last year so it was great to see them both there again this year! Kristi and Michael have always been two of my favorite skaters!!!
The entertainers/skaters who performed along with their families were:
* Ilia Kulik & Ekaterina Gordeeva
* Nancy Kerrigan
* Paul Wylie
* Linda Fratianne
* Kurt Browning
* Todd Eldredge
* Silvia Fontana & John Zimmerman
* Michael Weiss
* Sinead & John Kerr
All of them did some type of performance with member(s) of their family and some also did solo performances which was really nice too!
One of my ultimate favorite male skaters happens to be Kurt Browning and I was excited to see him last year and even more excited to see him back again this year! On top of that, he did one of my FAVORITE performances ever to Brick House which is a famous routine he did years ago. I loved it and it got the entire crowd on their feet!!! Yup, definitely my favorite performance of the night and he did half of the performance with his handsome little boy! He is as “HOT” as ever!!!
The entire evening was really “magical” and we really had a great time! We are hoping that they do this again next year and if they do…we will definitely be there!
Disclaimer: Musselman’s Apple Sauce provided us with 3 complimentary tickets to the Family Skating Tribute Event and 3 VIP wrist bands for the meet & greet after party.
I LOVE Kurt Browning. I’ve always wanted to see some skating live. 🙂
Wow, what a fantastic evening you and your family had. There were so many amazing skaters.
This looks like a wonderful skating show. I did not know that Musselman had a skating tribute show at PA state college. I too love to watch Kurt Browning skate.
This look like a lot of fun! I still need and want to see Frozen on Ice!!
