Description

John Jarmon, who skated out of the Lakewood Ice Arena, was one of many young skaters who took part in the Ice Capers show to great accolades for many years. The arena was home to many top level skaters when it opened in the 1930s. By 1955 the show had eight performances and 175 skaters. The rink hosted numerous shows and was the entertainment hub for Tacoma residents until 1982 when part of the building collapsed and the rest was demolished.
