The Olympics aren't quite finished this year at the Lou and Gib Reese Ice Arena.For those who miss the scrape of skates against the ice and the baffling twirls, jumps and footwork that rise to popularity during each Winter Games, there's no reason to long for 2014 to get your fix -- especially when you can witness local stars-to-be for $5 and avoid buying a plane ticket to Sochi, Russia.

Today and Saturday, almost 100 local figure skaters between the ages of 3 and 18 will take to the ice for the fifth annual Jane McConnell Spring Ice Show, this year aptly titled "Olympic Celebration." The program will highlight everything the fledgling skaters in the arena's "Learn to Skate" program have been practicing since September, in addition to special solo performances by three seasoned local figure skaters:

Utica High School senior Elizabeth Richards, Newark High School junior Sarah Gartner and Granville Middle School student Anya Cohen. The arena will take on an Olympic-like atmosphere for the event, general manager Jamie Baringer said.  "We really do a great job of making the kids feel special," Baringer said. "It looks like a production."

That includes dimmed lights -- for dramatic effect -- and a selection of music that has been performed by past and present Olympic skaters. Included are songs like "Vancouver Victory" and Vancouver theme song "I Believe," a tribute to winter sports piece, and Kristi Yamaguchi's short program music, "Blue Danube Waltz."

Also featured in the performance will be the Arctic Snowflakes, the Lou and Gib Reese Ice Arena synchronized skating team that recently earned top awards at the International Skating Institute Miami Open, and the members of the arena's hockey classes, who will skate in tribute to the gold medal-winning U.S. Hockey Team in the 1980 Lake Placid games.
