Let's Celebrate the Arrival of Spring!
February saw the start of the Winter Olympics and the Bradenton area is proud that two ice skating teams who train at the Ellenton Ice and Sports Complex swept the 2010 AT&T U.S. Figure Skating Pairs Championship to make the U.S. Olympic Team. Caydee Denney and Jeremy Barrett won the title, with Amanda Evora and Mark Ladwig taking second. The two Florida teams went on to represent Team U.S.A. in the Olympics Pairs event on February 15th in Vancouver. The celebration continues as Bradenton gears up for the 41st season of Pittsburgh Pirates’ Spring Training. This season includes the introduction of the Pirates’ new minor league team, the Bradenton Marauders. What better way to celebrate than with a Pep Rally? On this Thursday, Feb. 25, coaches and players of the Pirates and Marauders will join Bradenton’s mayor on Old Main St. to kick-off this fun event.
