Crazy Sk8 Rink - Watertown, SD

07/24/2022

Hey everyone, LONG TIME NO TALK! Wow, so I basically had to get my life together and put skating rink stuff on the back burner, and even now it's not easy, but your voices have not fallen on deaf ears. I've made adjustments, I'm working on stuff little by little, and I have people that want to support me and this business idea, but I may need some more help!

I decided to republish the page to help keep me accountable and motivated to keep going! I'm also thinking I might change the name of the proposed rink, nothing against "Crazy Sk8 Rink" but it just feels that with everything I've been through, I need some change, so throw your fun ideas in the comments!

Lastly, I just have to know, does Watertown and the surrounding communities still want a skating rink?! Also, like, comment, and share this post if you do! I may have had to call the jam, but the game isn't over yet!

Wow! It's been a whirlwind of a month here! Road trip to Denver, Vegas, and all the way back again! Graduation, then a break! I know I've been quiet here but rest assured, operation skating is still happening! I'm hoping we get some nice weather this summer, cause your girl wants to do some outdoor roller skating parties, anyone game?! Just have to pick up and sort through those skates now that I have time, thinking the second full week in June...if anyone wants to help :D

Here we go again!! No booth to set up but my time is 12 PM which means I will be the last to give my presentation! Then it will be the nice road trip to Las Vegas for the Roller Skating Association Int'l Convention and Trade Show to hob nob with other roller skating rink owners and learn even more about this awesome industry! Good thing there are no blizzards on the forecast this time lol😂😂

❄️I'm sure you're all wondering how the SD Giant Vision Competition went, so here goes!❄️CANCELLED BECAUSE OF SNOWSTORM WESLEY😩
I know this is a few days late but still wanted to update everyone.
So the snow starts heavy Wednesday morning, I get all my stuff ready and packed and on the interstate by 8AM, it's slippery and icy in between Watertown and Brookings, so I go slow and drive the conditions...and it takes me a little longer to arrive to Sioux Falls than usual, but I make it! They have tolerable weather for April, so I thought it was going to be good...
Then, I arrive at my aunt and uncles house, put my stuff down, look at my email and saw that they had JUST cancelled it😭talk about heartbroken💔due to the weather in the rest of the state, not all the judges could make it for the Governor's Office of Economic Development conference which was in conjunction with the competition, the whole state had basically shut down!
So I had a few minutes to decide if I was going to be stuck in Sioux Falls, or make the trip back home before it got so bad they closed the interstate....sooooo I opted to make the trip back home!
Slow and steady won the race back home and I made it just in time before they closed the interstate. While this was going on, my computer also went on the fritz and basically stopped working :/ so as sad as I am that I didn't get a chance to make my awesome presentation, I'm happy I made it back home, and also that I have a chance to make it even BETTER! So thank you all for your support
