Breaking News .... again

I'm still in the middle of vacation, but I got this from a friend. Sadly, this is not the first time skaters have been stranded ...


Ice Capades owner skips town; strands performers in Williams Lake

Ice Capades performers prepare to leave Williams Lake for Vancouver to regroup after show organizer Niles Garden left them stranded Tuesday morning. The performers were left without pay, and are uncertain how they will get home. Ice Capades shows in Prince Rupert and Prince George are cancelled.


I'm so bummed, I'm not including the picture of those really tall, creepy skaters from Ice Capades. If you want to see them, click here.

If you purchased tickets to any of the rest of the shows - read below ...

THE ICE CAPADES WILL NOT BE COMING TO PRINCE RUPERT. THE EVENT WHICH WAS SCHEDULED TO PUT ON TWO EACH DAY ON APRIL 8TH AND 9TH HAS CANCELLED THE REST OF ITS CANADIAN TOUR. THE ICE CAPADES PERFORMED THEIR LAST CANADIAN SHOW IN WILLIAMS LAKE LAST NIGHT THEN PACKED UP THEIR BAGS. ANYONE WHO HAS PURCHASED A TICKET WILL BE ABLE TO GET THEIR MONEY REFUNDED. TICKET HOLDERS WILL HAVE TO CONTACT THE ICE CAPADES MAIN OFFICE IN SARASOTA FLORIDA OR GO ONTO THEIR WEBSITE FOR DETAILS.

Yeah, I read that article, too, and felt terrible for those skaters. I'm sure they're in their 20's and pretty broke. At least there was a group of them stranded together.
