In light of potential severe weather conditions, our valued partners at Jackson County have requested we postpone our event to **Saturday, April 5th**. Your safety and comfort are our top priorities, and we want everyone—families, skaters, and supporters—to feel secure while enjoying this event.
Organizing an event of this scale takes significant effort, and your continued patience and participation make all the difference. This isn’t just about one day; it’s about creating a movement. Together, we’re working to establish skateparks across the entire Gulf Coast, and this event is a vital step in making that vision a reality.
We deeply appreciate your understanding as we adapt to ensure the best possible experience for everyone. Let’s rally together, make this a celebration to remember, and show the strength of our skateboarding community.
Mark your calendars for **April 5th**, and let’s aim for clear skies and an amazing turnout. Your support is the foundation of this project, and we can’t wait to see you there.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
