Amanda, my mouth is still droolg
from those Pickles. Really good.
Fresh vinegar, A little garlic,
The dill in three days in the refrigerator.
Good job. Well, welcome back to Good Day.
It's time to put them on and lace them up.
Amanda, time for a little roller skating.
Make sure helmet OK. Elbow pads.
Knee pads, all the things.
We're over 30. Exactly.
Let's be real here.
You can do that for a good cause tonight
at the Ribbon at the Glass City Metro Park.
John Monk is on wheels this
morning with the details.
Do you have your skates on, Joh?
No, I don't, not this morning.
Right now
I'm actually pushing 40 guys.
I don't know if you want to
see me on the skates.
I might be out of Commission
for a month if I pick a tumble.
No, we're here at the ribbon
at the at the the Glass City
Metro Park in East Toledo.
Many people took part in
the ice skating portion,
but part of the design here
was to have this be a year
round activity for folks to do.
And so roller skating is is an
option which inspired Eric Chas,
our friend from in Humans Media here to
host an event tonight for a good cause.
Tell me what's happening?
Well, we're going to be helping out Lucas
Lucas County Children Services, raising
money for them some resources as well.
You can check their website or the Metro
Parks Retrosgate Facebook page t
to see what they might be looking for.
But a lot of people don't know .
But from 9:00 to about 20, I had roller
skates on my feet more than sho.
And, and it's not an exaggerati,
back home in Philadelphia at
the Palace Roller Skating Rink,
I did every job floor, guard,
snack bar, skate rental, DJ,
and for the longest time, I've always
begged places where I I wanted to work.
I'm like, I want to do a skating rink park.
This opened up all the excitement with
the ice skating, the roller ska.
I knew that was coming.
I reached out to a good friend,
Matt Killen with the Metro Park.
She does so many great things fr
where we live and I was like,
I need you to give me the rink,
let me make a call and we're
out here tonight.
It's a retro skate if you're familiar.
If it's a good skating rink,
jam, we'll we'll play it.
Whether it's it's new,
it's really old like 70s funk s,
some Mesa base some 90s hip hopd
and then it's going to be great time.
DJA Dub is out here.
I'm very excited.
I'm a little I guess reserved
because being the host I'm doing
my radio show later on today.
There's a lot going on but once you know
when the lights go up at 6:00 o'clock,
it'll be all all nothing but a good time
and and as you said,
it's for a good cause.
Free admission, obviously,
but one of the only things you
would have me to pay for is skae
rentals if you don't have your .
But there also be other things people
can purchase and buy food and d.
Yeah, we'll have Juke mode here.
Also, there is a heavy beer announcement
that we're going to do on my rao
show on Q1O5 a little bit after 4:00.
O'clock if you didn't know.
I I feel like even though I've r
been here for an event I feel lI
know this place like the back of my hand.
If you're a Poco Piatti fan,
they have a fast casual spot
here called The Garden,
so they're delicious sandwiches,
everything that you like.
They also serve alcohol.
So I'm going to warn people to e
extremely careful if you have a
drink and it's on an empty stomh
and you're skating because I dot
want to see any compound fractu.
I don't want to see any horrific
injuries here tonight.
I don't want the Metroparks to ,
look, your party was too raw
because we're not doing this ag,
but there's a lot to do.
A friend of mine said I can't s.
I was like,
hold on to hold on to the railig
or there's plenty to do.
You can just come hang out and e
this is your first time coming out to
the Ribbon or Glass City Metro .
A great night because it's
going to be really busy.
Yeah.
And obviously and and real
quick we're wrapping up here.
But talk to me about the need
because this need is always
ongoing and this is just another
way to keep the need, you know,
in the forefront of people's mi.
Lucas County Children Services, you mean?
Yeah, I've worked with them,
Julie and the team for a long, long time.
I wish Robin well. And retireme.
We're here to help kids.
Kids don't have a lot of choice
with they get to grow up, adult.
So let's help some kids out.
Lucas County Children
Services is a great gateway.
It's making sure kids in our
community get what they need.
Again, Poco Pia.
The Garden is going to raise some resources,
some money from their funds,
and again skate rental is the only admission.
So we're here to help out Lewis
County children Services and
everybody in our community,
whoever needs us.
Thanks to the YWCA and my really
good friends at the Mental healh
and recovery services board,
my mental health Avengers
for being a part of things.
Wonderful Eric.
Well, thanks for hosting the ev.
Thanks for having us this morni.
We'll have more details and more links
where to show you how you can ge
if you can't make it to the eve.
Coming up later today at 5 for
my go for one nine feature.
But for now reporting live in East Toledo.
I'm John Monk WT A While 11.
