Mixing generations of fun

It's Saturday! What do you have planned for this hot mid-summer day?

Many of our Optimist Clubs are hopping with activities from classic car cruise-ins at the local drive-in to splash-downs at area water parks.  One activity especially caught my attention today: Wausau Noon Optimists are holding a skateboard event.

The Optimist Club of Wausau, Wisconsin is reaching out to children and young adults with contemporary interests with what is being billed as a skateboarding event.  They have set up a half-pipe in the city square for a day for the Mini Ramp Jam. Furthermore, they are celebrating their 50th anniversary with this event.

That's awesome, dude! The Wausau Noon Optimist Club is celebrating fifty years of service with a supervised skateboarding event for kids, a skateboard contest for children under 17. That's a great way to mix the generations and be remarkable.

Congratulations to the Wausau Noon Optimist Club on your anniversary and your ingenuity and thank you for the story.
