We were just informed that the Lewiston skatepark project has received a $10,000 grant from the Tony Hawk Foundation. This is great news and puts us one step closer to finishing the ongoing fund raising for the skatepark. Its not easy to get a Tony Hawk grant, Thousands of projects around the country apply twice a year and only about a dozen projects get picked. So far only 8 other skateparks in Idaho have received a THF grant including American Falls, also a Fall 2010 grant recipient. American Falls was awarded $5,000 for their project, congratulations. A large part of getting a Tony Hawk Grant is showing excellent grassroots support and fund raising, so I would like to thank all the volunteers who have help at our VSA fundraiser and to the Grindline crew who are building this amazing skatepark. – Danny P
