NORTH PLATTE, Neb. (North Platte Post)- Skate and Create is one step closer to making their dream of a community skate plaza a reality. Toxic Graphics of North Platte created the sign that sits adjacent to North Platte’s current skate park just behind the Rec Center. It designates the area that Skate and Create organizers Jessica Tanaka and Brandon Raby hope will one day become North Platte’s Premiere Skate Plaza. Create and Skate has already raised $10,000 toward the plaza’s $400,000 price tag. Added to a $30,000 Improvement Fund grant from the Lincoln County Convention and Visitor’s Bureau, the group is 10% to their goal. Tanaka says that they are also applying for other grants such as the Peter Kiewit Foundation Grant and that they also welcome community donations. For more information on how to help, contact Brandon Raby at Caravan Skate Shop, downtown N.P., or call the North Platte Rec Center.
