The Mayor, Parks Department, and the Richland have announced that they will be hosting Dream Big at North Lake Park this Saturday.

This event will feature professional skateboarder, motivational speaker and author Doug Brown. Beginning at 1 PM, hear Brown inspire all ages with messages of hope and optimism.

According to his website, “Doug Brown is a professional athlete, motivational speaker, and published author. Chances are you’ve seen Doug on NBC’s Good Co. Today Show, at the Gravity Games, AST Dew Tour, Vans Warped Tour, or even on a stick of X-Air Deodorant, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Brown is founder of his highly acclaimed inspirational speaking program, Dream Big. From touring arenas with the band The Newsboys, to visiting patients in hospitals as an all star member of Athletes for Hope, Doug has proven to be more than just a pro athlete… While he maintains a strong commitment to his career, Brown has shifted his primary focus and energy toward his Dream Big program speaking at schools, libraries, camps, commencements, and much more. Brown wholeheartedly believes in positive change and the importance of hope and optimism.”

This is a free family fun event filled with entertainment, skate demos, music, bounce houses, food, informational booths from local organizations and much more! Also enjoy a special guest appearance from 16:15 SK8 Ministry.
