This week’s Weekly Wrap-Up is a double-header (meaning we did not post last week, so this will be a power-packed-hype-fest with twice the skate juice as per usual. The dates covered within are: Oct 31 - Nov 13, ’15. There’s a lot of fun stuff in this thingy, so grab a snack, a beverage, pull up the proverbial seat in the shade, and peep the goods. Thanks for tuning in, y’all!
