Liberty Summer Competition 2010
The Liberty Skating Club of Philadelphia holds a summer competition every year that some high-level skaters participate in. It is sanctioned by the USFSA and Skate Canada. While the placements won't mean much in the long run, it is often used to debut and receive critique on new programs and to gain competitive experience.
This year's competition will be from July 13-17. Here is a schedule of the events.
Notable skaters who have registered to attend, courtesy of Sylvia at Goldenskate:
Skaters assigned to the Senior Grand Prix:
Patrick Chan (scheduled to debut his new SP here), Ashley Wagner (SP only), Agnes Zawadzki, Stephen Carriere, Ross Miner, Viktor Pfeifer (AUT; SP only), Marissa Castelli/Simon Shnapir and Britney Simpson/Nathan Miller (pairs).
JGP-eligible, competing Senior: Keegan Messing, Joshua Farris, Samantha Cesario, Yasmin Siraj, Felicia Zhang...

I will try to update with results and videos after the events, but it's notoriously difficult with this competition.
Hard to believe the new skating season is so close! <3
