Game of SKATE

If you missed the 2009 East Meets West Game of Skate then you missed one of the most epic battles of SKATE we’ve ever seen. 108 skaters went head to head until there was only one guy left.

A Game of SKATE is similar to "HORSE" in basketball. Skateboarders went head-to-head performing tricks. When one skater completed a trick the other repeated it or took a letter from the word S-K-A-T-E. Skaters who collected all 5 letters dropped out, and the winner proceeded to the next round.

The winner of this year’s Game of Skate was Doug Nehrend from Sheffield Lake. Thanks to everyone who came out to participate and watch the tournament.

The Game of SKATE was planned and sponsored by Public Square Group, Slavic Village Skaters, and Slavic Village Development. Thanks to all the skateboard shops for their donations: West Side Skates, Martini Skate and Snow, Wood Pushers, Ohio Surf and Skate, Village Boards, and Fable Skateboards.

For more information on how to get involved with skateboarding projects in Slavic Village contact Jacob VanSickle at 216-429-1182, ext. 107.

In the mean time check out the video from this years tournament.

Needlework Artists Start Club in Slavic Village

Are you interested in making new friends, learning new skills, and beating the post-holiday blahs? Then accept the invitation for local needlework artists to get involved in Slavic Village’s newest community organization, the Knit-Cro Club.

Attendance is free and open to all ages. Needle crafters are invited to bring their knitting or crocheting projects to share with others. If you don’t know how to do either, local experts will be on hand to teach you how, with free lessons. Just bring your own needles or hooks, yarn and a pattern. They say the skills are relatively easy to learn and once mastered, become a fulfilling mode of self-expression for a lifetime.

The club meets for the first time at 1pm this Saturday, January 10th at the new Americana Café, 3664 East 65th St., in the Warszawa Historic District near St. Stanislaus Church. While there, you can sample Americana’s selection of piping hot beverages, including a new hot beverage just for club members. For details, call 216-341-1440.
