El Dorado hosts event for Epworth Skate Project

March 23, 2014

An enthusiastic crowd of supporters packed El Dorado Feb. 26 to enjoy authentic Mexican food and help raise money for the planned skate park at Epworth United Methodist Church. The event raised $500 to help fund construction.

El Dorado owner Aquiles Demerutis, a skateboarding enthusiast, offered to host the event. He believes that skate parks, like playing fields, are an important asset to the community. “Not every kid likes teams sports,” said Demerutis. The event was attended by many families and local skateboarders. “I know I will be there skating with my son someday,” said Demerutis.

The Epworth Skate Project is continuing to raise funds for construction. For more information, go to www.eumcrb.org/sk8.
