In the whimsical world of Washington, where apples grow as big as your head and the Space Needle pokes the sky like a giant silver toothpick, there is a special breed of kids who are wild about ice skating. They are known as the "Ice-venturers of Washington," and they are as cool as the ice they slide on. Leading the pack is their fearless leader, Wiggly Wally the Wacky Walrus. Now, don't let his funny name or the fact that he's a walrus on ice skates fool you! Wally is as swift as a shooting star and as agile as an acrobat. He’s got more moves than a disco-loving octopus and he can twirl, jump, and spin better than a tornado in a tutu! Wally and his icy entourage can often be seen during winter at the local frozen lakes, or year-round at the indoor ice rinks dotted around the state. From the coastal city of Seattle to the bustling town of Spokane, these kids are known for their awesome ice antics, causing spectacular snow storms of giggles and laughter. They love to glide, twirl, and whirl on the ice, turning Washington’s winter white into a kaleidoscope of colorful ice skating maneuvers. Sometimes, they will even set up obstacle courses, using those enormous Washington apples as cones, and see who can zig-zag the fastest! These Ice-venturers spread joy, laughter, and a touch of frost everywhere they go, making Washington State the coolest place to be, quite literally! They prove that even in the chilly embrace of winter, warmth can be found in the firm camaraderie of friends and the thrill of ice skating.
