I even got the girlfriend to volunteer in the art auction they had set up and we both had an amazing time! This is such a wonderful event and it’s for an amazing cause, I really recommend everyone getting involved in this next year.

I’ll definitely look forward to volunteering in more Decatur events in the future! :D

I know it’s probably the lowest profile of Decatur’s festivals but, in many ways, it’s among its best because it’s so earnest. Take kids at their most obnoxious phase in life and let them channel all that energy into something immensely meaningful and valuable.

I’m a big fan of our arts fest, book fest, wine fest, beer fest, green fest, beach fest, and bbq fest, but something about SkaterAid gets me borderline choked up. It’s the epitome of what this grass-roots, taking-the-time-to-care city is about.

Congrats to all. I didn’t shred for Ian (because it would surely kill me), but I did drink for Ian. And that’s gotta count for something.
