Did you know that 30,000 Skate America fans will be flooding the streets of Everett from October 23-26th?

What can you do to prepare for Skate America fans....

• Stay OPEN! Pay attention to the scheduled hours as spectators will pour out of the building hungry and in a festive mood.
• Target the average skating fan: 35 to 60 years of age, female, comes to the events with her girlfriends, family or her husband.
• Hang welcome posters and our window clings to let guests know that you are ready!
• Staff – Up! Don’t lose business because of long wait times.  
• Specialize your menu with skating lingo: Axels, slips, loops, salchows, lutzs come as doubles, triples and quads! Sit spins, camel spin, ina bauers, twizzles, chochtaws, rockers, counters, lasso lifts, throw jumps, and death spirals.
• Advertise on the 2008skateamerica.com website. Web ads/links - $50.
• Purchase “Welcome Skate America” buttons.
• BUY TICKETS! Help us break the all time attendance record. We are so close!!

The Community Expo is a great way to learn about Everett area community businesses, while also participating in family fun activities.
