Fantasy on Ice skates through Iowa fair in plastic rink
At the All Iowa Fair a trio performs Fantasy on Ice under the Mall Area tent three times daily through Sunday. The show uses a plastic Skate-On surface, not real ice, and relies on an interlocking 80-piece stage costing about 25 dollars per piece. Performers note wind and dirt complicate outdoor skating, with jets of wind causing misplays and the need for sharp skates and frequent surface cleaning. The act, produced by Karlton Productions, emphasizes that plastic enables outdoor ice shows in hot weather.
