CELEBRATING WOODSTOCK
 
It was 40 years ago Saturday when almost half-a-million people descended on a farm in upstate New York to enjoy a music festival called "Woodstock."
 
Max Yasgur, the farmer who leased his land for Woodstock, told the crowd that weekend, "I think you people have proven something to the world -- that half a million kids can come together for three days of fun and music and have nothing but fun and music." 
. . . . . . . . . . 

I put this post up because I saw a parallel.  Over the last several yearswe have held over 20 skate jam events. And contrary to some of the stereotypesthat people will tend to believe about skateboarding or skateparks, our eventshave simply been lots of kids being active andhaving fun.

Help us build a place for kids to skate.

PEACE,
 
Mark
