For
Immediate Release
Subject: July 4th Parade Skaters Unite
Skateboarders unite. Join the Hendersonville Kids Alliance to Skate in
Hendersonville’s July 4th Parade and skate Main Street…legally
for a change.
The
Hendersonville Kids Alliance to Skate invites all skateboarders to bring a
board and helmet, and join us in the parade line-up to demonstrate support
of the recently approved Patton
Park
skate plaza. Meet up with Kids Alliance members at noon, July 4th,
at the Five Points intersection. Get on Board.
Hendersonville has a large population of
skateboard enthusiasts with no legal safe place to practice and enjoy
their sport. A Hendersonville city ordinance prohibits skating upon any
surface unless the skating area is designated by the city. As a result, a
group of local teenagers and parents formed the Hendersonville Kids
Alliance to Skate in March of 2006 to address the needs of skaters in
our area and bring awareness to the community.

Hendrickson at 693-6832.
