Free Skating, Pet Games, and Festival!

Lace up your skates for this next Free Friday goodie!
October is National Roller Skating Month.
Rod Roberson, manager of Skateland of Mobile says every Friday this month, he's offering his own Free Friday special.
"On Friday nights, anybody that has their own skates, we let them in for free. We know the economy is a little tight right now and we're trying to give back to our community so that's our Free Friday night skate", says Roberson.
Skateland of Mobile is located on Shelton Beach Road.
By the way, President Ronald Reagan declared October National Roller Skating month in 1983.
It's to remind families of the fitness and fun the sport offers.
