A BIG thank-you goes out to the Chillicothe Optimist Town Theater for their generous donation of $529.20 and thank you to everyone who supports us and our town theater . The Chillicothe Optimist Club saved our Town Theater and started a program not seen in any other town that I know of. The "Kids Count Program". They donate the theater's proceeds back to the kids through local nonprofit organizations. This is how it works....They pay us for every movie ticket stub we turn in to them. How can you be a part of this? Watch a movie at the Chillicothe Town Theater. Turn your movie ticket stub into one of us or hand them back to the theater and ask them to give your movie stub to us. You get to watch a great movie and earn money to help support skateparks all at the same time. It doesn't get any easier than that. We hope to see you at the show and remember to give your ticket stub back and have the theater put in in the NoWhere 2 Ride envelope.

Thank you to everyone who came out for our Dodgeball Event and to Pearce Community Center for letting us host it there. We would also like to give Ron McCloud a big thank you for volunteering to be the referee. He did a great job! This was our third year of hosting this event and again, it was two hours of non-stop action and fun.

They are as follows: Morgan Bailey, Craig Brefeld, Patrick Brodbeck, Jessie Kuhlman, Megan McCausland, Brodie Ordaz, Cameron Ordaz, Chris Safford and Nikki Safford. We would also like to thank everyone at Three Sisters Park and everyone who works Spiderhill for the opportunity to have this much fun!

Thank you to everyone who came to our Pack the House Night and for donating your ticket stub. We still could use more people to fill some empty seats though. Remember, the Chillicothe Theatre donates all monies back to nonprofit organizations. Not only do you get to see a movie, you are making a donation to a nonprofit at the same time. It's a win/win situation, so please try to watch some movies at our local theatre this year.

XTREME RIDE JAM APRIL 23, 2011
Sponsored by: NoWhere 2 Ride & Chillicothe Xtreme Sports
BMX Pros KEVIN PORTER & BRAD SIMMS signing autographs
at the Chillicothe Skatepark
Special Thank You goes out to Kevin Porter and Brad Simms. Kevin is from Chicago and Brad is from Maryland and two of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. They rode, they did a demo, they signed autographs and they judged all the competitions. Kevin if you ever read this, you really do make a good announcer! I don't think I've ever seen anyone bunny hop the way Brad does and Kevin...well, I saw him ride up the quarter pipe and disappear. He had jumped off the quarter pipe and over the fence. These guys are not only super nice and super talented, they support the sport genre they're in. You guys ROCK!!!!!!!!!
All the watching of the weather was not needed. The sun came out and we all got some much needed glow. DJ Jake Molohon did a great job as we knew he would! Joe Connor had his special tie dyed shirts...of which of course I had to purchase one. The Optimist Club Town Theatre was on hand to let everyone know about the wonderful opportunities it offers the non profit groups in town to earn cold hard cash for their organizations as well as let everyone know it's as easy as going to the Town Theatre to watch a movie. Best of all, we got to watch the kids show off their talents at the skatepark. What a wonderful thing to experience! Big congrats to everyone who competed.
We would like to thank all of our Contributors! We couldn't do it
without you.
Working with Chilli XS on this event was a pleasure. Everyone should check them out down at their new shop on 2nd Street in Chillicothe.
We would like to say a special thank you to SUBWAY for supplying the sandwiches for our event. They went beyond the norm on the donation. When you go to the Chillicothe Subway, make sure you tell them thank you! We also want to personally say THANK YOU to Samantha in the Minnesota Subway office!
