Thank You Everyone for An Awesome Event!

We had over 200 attendees and 30 skate participants. Again, special thanks to Joe Phufal and the Mattituck Lions Club who provided the event tents that kept us cool throughout the day. Also to IGA, Greenport for their generous donation of 6+ cases of water, ice and JoJo Energy Drink for 6 cases of refreshing JoJo Energy Drinks, we sold both at our concession stand. In addition, a special appreciation to the Greenport Fire Department and Rescue Squad who provided emergency services, just in case! Live entertainment was provided by Team Havoc NY, Smash Brothers and Akademy.
A live graffiti art demonstration was given by Spencer "JustB" Cohen.
