Time is running out to purchase tickets for the Twin Lakes Skatepark Project’s second-annual Casino Night, which will be held at Arbor Stone Vineyards in Leitchfield on March 28.
“Our theme this year is Art in Motion,” said Twin Lakes Skatepark Project Chairman Casey Keown. “It’s a night of celebrating skateboarding as an art form. Obviously, skateboarding is not like your conventional sport, and a lot of times skateboarders get a bad rep because they’re misunderstood.”
The event is a chance to directly support the construction of a new, fully concrete 10,000 square foot public skatepark in Grayson County. The event will feature professional gaming tables, food, drinks, entertainment, and auction items, with 100 percent of proceeds going towards skate park construction.
Keown says the fundraising pushes the project closer to the goal.
“We’ve completed our geotechnical survey, so we are hoping to have our preliminary design in the near future, and you know, all these things take time and money, so we’re just going to keep pushing,” Keown said.
The deadline to purchase tickets is this weekend. Visit www.twinlakesskatepark.org or the Twin Lakes Skatepark Project Facebook page to find the link to purchase tickets.
