 THANKS to all that came out to the SPD parade. It was such a nice day for a parade and to be outside. And to start it all off with breakfast beers from Jimmie's Ice House.... THANKS JIMMIE'S!! The caravan to the parade was GREAT. We collected $310 form Skaters and Art Cars this year. I will deliver this to the parade commission, Mary Kearns, on Monday. At the parade: This year everything when so smoothly. As we arrived the barricade were opened with no problems and volunteers knew were our home was! The Section Marshall did collect the insurance forms from Art Car drivers. But it was no problem for us. THANKS GUYS! I just love our lineup home! At this parade, our lineup spot is under the HWY 59 bridge. This is just a cool spot! If we could only get a port-a -can at this spot. It would be the perfect personal party spot. THANKS AGAIN TO ALL! Till next year. Johnny "Big Beer" Rojas |

| It’s time to gather again and skate in memory of Greg Blankenship. Greg died nine years ago on December 20, 2001 of Mesotheliona, a rare form of lung cancer. For those of you that remember, his wishes were that we wear kilts and skate a route of some of his favorite stops. So break out those kilts and join us for the celebration and fun. Even if you don't have a kilt, please don't let that stop you. Greg was a friend to everyone and loved to help newbies as well as old-timers. Please come out and skate for Greg. It will put a smile on his face to see a big group of us skating together again. Meet up at The Brewery Tap at 8:30 on Saturday, Feb. 20th to celebrate his life. Rain date is set for February 27th. |
