First Fridays “Sports and Brews” Once Again Brings the Games and People to Downtown Danville

“Sports and Brews” once again proved to be one of the top First Fridays events in Downtown Danville.  This past Friday; everything from hockey to disk golf to pickleball was going on.  And Hillary from Danville, a big First Fridays fan, said and her youngsters were looking to do it all.

AUDIO: Oh yes, I think they’re great; I think it’s good for the community to come out and get together.  We have made our way down to the soccer, we have done the hockey, and we were also on the bounce house down there.

And this time at Sports and Brews, live music from BorderTown & Co.  Danville Community Relations Administrator Rheanna Ollis says they hope to make this addition routine for the summer.

AUDIO: We’re going to do our best to make sure that we have a band throughout all of our summer events; so there’s still something for adults and kiddos to do.

As always, Danville Youth Hockey was a big part of it.  President Shane Hagler says a little street hockey action can always lead to interest in getting on the ice.

AUDIO: We’re bringing gear out, we’re bringing nets; we’ve got sticks and things like that; just to kind of garner interest.  The big thing that we’re trying to do is let the community know that we’re here.

And how about something new?  Vermilion County Disk Golf was out there tossing the frisbees.  Participant Joshua Bush says google them, or look up Vermilion County Disk Golf on Facebook or Instagram.

AUDIO: And this is like the first year that we’ve ever started.  This is the first event that we’ve started, and we’re just trying to get it going, and hopefully we get it running!

And of course, we should also mention miniature golf!  Plenty of food and family fun there as well; for First Fridays’ Sports and Brews this past Friday (May 2nd) in Downtown Danville 5 to 8 PM.
