Mayor James Ireton, Jr., will help raise funds for the Westside Baseball League by participating in the West Salisbury Little League’s Annual Family Fun Day on Saturday, May 16th, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., at the West Salisbury Little League Field located on Pemberton Drive. There will be moon bounces, water slides, carnival-type games, and a dunking booth. Mayor Ireton will make a special guest appearance in the dunking booth at 11:00 a.m. Practice your pitching skills at the dunking booth!
Mayor Ireton will then be attending the Salisbury Skatepark Committee’s Second Annual Fundraising event on Saturday, May 16th, at Emmanuel Weslyean Church, located near the intersection of Route 50 and Beaglin Park Drive. Admission is $5.00. The skate session starts at Noon. There will be a Best Trick contest, 50/50 raffle, food, and more. Come support the Salisbury Skatepark Committee’s goal of raising the money necessary to build and operate a free public skateboarding facility, and see the Mayor’s skills on a skateboard!
The public is encouraged to attend these events and support the Salisbury Skatepark and the Westside Baseball League.
Go Jimmy!
ReplyDeleteSalisbury Skate Park...Now there is a waste of money...especially in these times!
ReplyDeleteanonymous 6:35,
ReplyDeleteUnlike to BOE and Zoo, these people are raising their own money to pay for the Skate Park, so please, do us all a favor and keep your mouth shut.
Joe...first amendment...I don't care if they are raising their own money or not, in the long run, it will be the taxpayers paying for the upkeep of the disaster.
ReplyDeleteOf course, you will support anything the mare does now.

ReplyDeleteFuthermore, it is not a waste of money. Especially in these times, kids need a place to go and skate so people like you don't yell at them.
Good for Jim. See him at the Sk8 event at 12!
ReplyDeleteSkate park sounds good to me! It's physical activity blended w a little competition. Much better than glued to the tv playing video games and pretending to be outside on a board. Plus...I'd rather see our local teens doing ollie's than hanging on a street corner smoking dope.
ReplyDeletethe church that is holding the event has a youth group on fridays and wedsendays that kids skate at. That is definatley not enough for kids. Kids will be a lot safer at a skatepark instead of skating down the highway going to a skatespot
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I am taking my 9 & 10 year old sons to both places tomorrow anyway. It's nice to know that Mayor Ireton will be supporting these events. I know that baseball is of course the "all American" sport but you nothing beats sk8ing with my kids. They LOVE it and have been dying for a local skate park. All our relatives and out of town friends have nice FREE sk8 parks in their neighborhoods/towns so hopefully my children will finally have one soon, too.I sk8ed a little so I know what good clean fun it is. It's gr8!
