Lace up your roller skates for one night only at  Friday Night Live

Though it’s yet to be determined whether a skate park will be coming back to Rutland anytime soon, folks will have a chance to lace up their roller skates for one night only at Friday Night Live on Aug. 16. Partners for Prevention will host an “In My Roller Skating Era” event during which community members can strap in and skate along to some Taylor Swift tunes.

The one-off event was inspired by youth input and dreamed up in collaboration with Partners for Prevention’s summer youth interns.

The free event will take place on Merchants Row between Center St. and Washington St. from 5 -8 p.m. Aug. 16, and will offer 100 pairs of free skate rentals, bracelet-making and other activities.

Participants must bring their own helmets. For more information and the required participation waiver visit: bit.ly/InMyRollerSkating Era.
