Skateboarding/Scooter Competition - NEW

Announcing the 1st ever Danville German Society Skateboarding and Scootering contest.  Open to kids only. Contestants will be given 3 rounds of 60 seconds each to do as many tricks as they can.  We will be picking judges who know absolutely nothing about skateboarding or scootering. The judges will then give awards.

Contestants must provide their own scooter/skateboard and must wear helmet, knee, and elbow pads. 

Elk Toss Reminders

It is a little over a month before the Elk Toss (February 21). Here are a few reminders for people planning to attend:

1. Gather items to donate to the auction.
2. Begin collecting donations of food for the Danville-Riverside Food Bank.
3. If you plan to spend the night in Danville, reserve a room at a local hotel. We recommend the Pine Barn Inn since it is within walking distance of downtown Danville, but there are other hotels available in the area.
