Kerrigan will skate in Willett Arena show

One of the best-known names in figure skating is bringing her show to Stevens Point.

"Nancy Kerrigan's Annual Family Halloween on Ice" will be at the Willett Arena for a 7 p.m. show on Monday, Oct. 25.

The show spotlights Kerrigan, the 1994 Olympic silver medalist, along with a cast that includes Phillipe Candeloro, Caryn Kadavy and other skaters.

People who wear a Halloween costume to the show may qualify for the right to meet Kerrigan and the cast backstage.

Tickets go on sale Monday, Sept. 27, at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point Ticket Office at Quandt Fieldhouse. Prices are $33 for reserved seating and $30 for general admission. Tickets will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis. Purchases will be limited to eight tickets per person on the first day of sale. MasterCard, Visa and Discover cards will be accepted.

More ticket information is available by calling 1-800-838-3378 or 346-4100.

Kerrigan was 1993 U.S. women's champion. In addition to her 1994 silver medal, she won the bronze in the 1992 Olympics.

She was the victim of a Jan. 6, 1994, assault at U.S. nationals in Detroit when Shane Stant clubbed her in right knee with metal baton after a practice session in a conspiracy hatched by Jeff Gillooly, ex-husband of rival Tonya Harding.

Although she was unable to compete in nationals, Kerrigan quickly recovered and was granted berth on Olympic team. She finished 2nd in Lillehammer, Norway, to Oksana Baiul of Ukraine by a 5-4 judges' vote.
