365 project. Skate Elmira!

Today I had the privilege of volunteering my expertise( I'm a paramedic in case the pants didn't give it away) to the Skate Elmira Fundraiser Kick-off.   Elmira, ON is a smaller town not far from where I lived when I was little. This awesome kid, Kyle, went before town council and made a presentation in favour of the town getting a skate park. I was at the first information session in February and was happy to help out.  The rain didn't dampen any spirits.(How many times has that been used?) There was a skate competition, BBQ, raffles and a bunch of other stuff. I didn't need to do anything as everyone remained uninjured.....mostly.
 Day 173. Skate Elmira.
 John Deer presents First Aid!
 Mobile Park supplied by Doon Skatium. More info can be found here - http://www.kitchener.ca/en/livinginkitchener/SkateboardParks.asp
 Raffle prizes. I wanted the custom SE deck made by Nudecks (www.nudecks.com) so bad.
 Info on skate parks and some concepts from Spectrum Skateparks. www.spectrum-sk8.com
 Bouncy Fun.
 Sweet graffiti artist on site.
Christine (fundraising overseer), Kyle (awesome kid) and myself.

Thanks to Christine, Kyle, Dave, Dustin and whole Skate Elmira Team, Emmanuel Mission Church, 
Mayor Todd Cowan, Doon Skatium, the Nudecks guys for reading this blog, Everyone who came out despite the frequent rain (it all cleared up by the end) and Spectrum Skateparks who will put a world class park in Elmira.
Almost forgot Skate for Austin.   https://www.facebook.com/skate4austin
