Joelstock!

So there's this little thing that we have coming up that we like to call







Joelstock is a 10 hour music festival that we are putting on next weekend that will have bands, games, vendors and a couple of food trucks for one spectacularly fun afternoon.  It is the brainchild of Joel's Place staff and riders and should be a great way to spend a summer afternoon/evening.  If you are interested in attending you are cordially invited to bring a friend along.  If you are interested in helping out, we still need a couple of things:
  • Canopy tents to provide shade for our vendors
  • Volunteers who would be interested in providing security or logistical help
If you can help with either of these, please give Kelli a call at 452-2621.

Music has always been a key component of Joel's Place.  In its earliest forms, even before becoming a skate park, Joel's Place served as a place for young people to come together and play music.  There are some real and vital life lessons that bands provide: communication, teamwork, presentation, creativity and boldness.  Even beyond the developmental pieces, music is an easily accessible way for people to have fun and express themselves in a creative and genuine way.
 We are looking forward to a spectacular event and hope you are able to join us.  There is so much interest that we have a waiting list of bands who are hoping to get called up if something happens to one of our booked groups.  Come on out Saturday the 19th and have a great time with the Joel's Place community.
