The Sept. 5 event -- the Friday after school opens -- will combine an endurance contest with money- raising recreational skating to provide additional funds for park improvement. .It ;plans to use the money to install a I2-foot police around the community park wading pool and to put a fence and gate around the pool. The $1,000 now on hand will not cover the entire expense, but it is hoped the rollerama will produce the balance needed. Entry forms now available from the recreation director, Doug Andrews, give youngsters the chance, to enlist sponsors whose contributions will be based on skating time. Those entrants competing for cash prizes for skating the longest will have to start together at stipulated time. Others planning to skate a shorter time, just for fun and fund-raising, will be allowed later starts.
