Lake Placid Skate Shop News

We have been very busy here at Lake Placid Skate Shop, and were excited to have Emily Hughes stop in to do some shopping. She was looking for a Michael Jackson themed outfit, and we found a turquoise and gold jacket that looked like it came from Michael's closet (if Michael had been a Gettysburg veteran- it looked better than it sounds). The look worked for Emily! We also helped her decorate a hat for her performance.



Before she left, she stopped by to shop after the fireworks (the show was on July 4th). She chose a funky pair of Chloe Noel vintage pants (pictured below) and a comfortable pair of Bear Hill Sports polartec pants (pictured below). She remarked how comfortable and warm the Bear Hill pants are, best of all, they are water repellant (not that she usually falls)! Here are some photos:




As seen above, I tried to model like Emily (it didn't really work) ;)

Keep watching for my interview with Amanda Evora and Mark Ladwig! I will also be posting Saturday Nite Ice Show photos and video.

Saturday Nite Ice Show- July 4th

I was wrong; Emily Hughes was not the only guest skater, Jason Wong was also present and skated two lovely programs. I am currently constructing an interview piece (with both of them) for the Lake Placid News, but for now enjoy video of Emily's two programs and pictures!


1st Program, to U2 and Mary J Blige:

2nd Program, to Michael Jackson medley:
