Happy Friday the 13th!
The blogger is back. She's been out of town, and then, as soon as she got home, she got sick! But that's all behind us now, and it's time to start writing again!
I wrote awhile back lauding the benefits of having a bike/skate park in the area. Bikers and skaters need a safe and legal place to practice their sport just as much as kids who play soccer and football. Giving them a safe place to practice makes the sidewalks and streets safe for everyone. Entrepreneurs will have a chance to profit by opening businesses that cater to the sport and existing shops can stock items for the bikers and skaters that are sure to flock in droves to check out the new park. Enthusiasm for the park is building, evidenced by the number of people who have shown up on workdays to help plant a rain garden and install ramps. And now that enthusiasm is growing in new ways: watch for a plethora of fun fundraisers coming up this summer.
One of those events is a Zumbathon that I plan on participating in on June 26th. Zumba mamis will be asking for people to sponsor them to do Zumba for 2 hours! If you're interested in sponsoring me or anyone else, shoot me an email and I'll get you set up. Also coming up is a Blender at the skatepark on June 18, featuring bands and skater demonstrations for just a $5 donation. If you're thinking of joining Rankins Fitness Center, they recently posted that they will donate 15% of any new memberships to the Park.
OK we'll be back to our regularly scheduled blogging next week. Tune in and watch for new recipes, fitness ideas, and health tips.
This is so exciting!! Thanks for blogging the word.
