On Wednesday, Aug. 1, from 4-8 p.m., OTTS Garage hosts their annual summer event for the community featuring live music and a skateboard/biking competition. This event is free for all ages and takes place on Main Street in front of OTTS Garage located next to the Cosmo Theater. Prizes for the competition have been donated by Central Board Shop. Individuals interested in participating in the skateboard and BMX biking competition will need to have a liability release form completed by a parent/guardian. These forms can be obtained from members of the Extreme Tour during the week, online at Facebook.com/OttsGarage, and at the event.
The purpose of The Extreme Tour is to use extreme sports and music events to reach at-risk and counter culture youth with services and resources that would assist them in making positive, as well as healthy decisions for a successful life.
The Extreme Tour is, in terms of the number of communities visited in a year, the largest and longest running Extreme Sports & Music tour in the world. They currently visit over 100 communities each year in the United States alone, and this number has again started to rise dramatically as the tour has expanded internationally to almost every continent.
Bands scheduled to perform include GalleryCat, Filthy Rags, StillWaiting, Lil Mike and Funny Bone, Psalm, and Seth Newton. Music styles will range from rock to rap. Performances happen rain or shine.
