This year has been a fantastic opportunity for connection and growth at skateboarding events across the Flathead Valley!
From the Whitefish and Polson Skate Jams to the inspiring Girls on Shred skateboarding clinic, I’ve enjoyed meeting many new faces. A highlight was connecting with Chris Bacon, president of the Montana Skateboarding Association, to discuss the new skatepark planned for Columbia Falls. We’re thrilled about potential collaborations with MSA in 2025!
Exciting news: JuJu is planning a Girls Only Skate Night in partnership with the Girls on Shred team! Stay tuned for more details as we work to create even more inclusive, supportive spaces for all skaters in our community.
It was a pleasure to share the story of Serious JuJu on The KEGZ Good Morning Show (FM 96.5). Catch the full interview here to learn more about our mission and vision.
In addition, I had the chance to meet with local business owners and participate in events with the Evergreen and Kalispell Chambers of Commerce, and Daybreak Rotary strengthening our community connections.
New this year, we are adding a Family Resource Board in the communal area of the park. It’s here for our community members to easily access resources and information whenever they need it. Feel free to reach out if you have questions.
Looking forward to seeing everyone in 2025 and continuing this journey together!
