Orem Classic Skating & Fun Center hosts an annual women-only Galentine's skate night, offering single women a chance to come together and have fun.
"We've been doing Galentine's for years now, so all the girls look out for it every year. They love coming and it's just a really good place for girls to just be in their element," Melissa Acey, the event coordinator, said.
The fun center also incorporated local businesses into the event. Charmed by Kenz, an Orem beauty studio, offered piercing services and sold jewelry to partygoers and the center's snack bar offered BYU Creamery ice cream sundaes.
For the main attraction of the night, women and girls from various stages of life rented skates and took to the rink to celebrate.
"Our friendship has grown so much since, graduating from high school," Selina Duncker, one of the skaters, said. "We just wanted to take this time to come and be together, and celebrate our singleness together."
For many girls in attendance, love — for friends, sisters and even self — was a common reason to celebrate.
"I love Galentine's. I always force all my friends to do Galentine things. I just think (of) sisterhood, and it's so much fun to be with the girls and just laugh," Tori Skinner, another partygoer, said. "I'm in the stage of just moms, and so it's just fun to get out at night and be kid-free and do fun things."
