Saturday June 27th there are two events to benefit a Skateboard Park in Newport, KY. Even if you yourself do not skate, just stopping by for a few minutes would help the city of Newport know that people in the Tri-state area support skateboarding.

From 12:00pm-6:00pm there will be an open skate on Riverboat Row in Newport, KY. There will be street obstacles and a mini ramp for anyone to skate and enjoy.

At 8:00pm in The Southgate House Ballroom there will be a benefit concert featuring The Lions Rampant, The Read, The Highlight Reel, Los Heavies and DJ Chinn. The show is $5 for 21 and up and $8 20 and under. The rock will be preceded by DJ Chinn hosting a dance party. All of the money raised at the event will go to the Newport Skate Park.
