Entry fee is $10 per skater or $15 per family. Register by e-mail Pete Kapak @ pkapak@telus.net.
“As Armstrong is the speed skating host, for the upcoming B.C. Winter Games, I am attempting to create some exposure to the sport, in that community,” said Kapak, a former Vernon club director.
Kapak’s daughter, Conni, is now skating out of the Regional Training Center, based in Kelowna.
