The Andover Community Skate Park will open its 12th season in style with its annual Hot Dog Skate Jam this Saturday, June 27.
Andover Youth Services and the skate park have teamed up with the folks from the Dew Tour to bring the town a day of live music, skating contests and "plenty of free stuff!" according to AYS.
"This event will be the Dew Tours 2009 kickoff party and the beginning of a monthlong skating bonanza leading up to Boston hosting its first ever Dew Tour event on Friday and Saturday, July 24 and 25," according to Tony Lombardi, AYS program coordinator.
The Dew Tour street team will be on hand to hand out free products, and radio station WBCN-FM will be set up to present a live feed of the Dew Tour's Chigaco event.
Gates will open at noon and the action-packed day will run until 7:30 p.m. Skate park staff will run contests while local bands Contained Chaos, One Step Away, the Glass Menagerie and Left Hand Blue play sets of original music.
Admission is $10 for skating and music.
Residents who just want to listen to the music or who purchase a season pass, will be admitted for $5.
