The Bricks & SPoT Ybor 5 Year Anniversary Party

Marino Nicastro

We did it! The Bricks and SPoT Ybor made it 5 years so far, so we decided to celebrate. The 5 Year Anniversary Party was beginning to look promising, it rained all morning from 7am-2pm but finally let up. This party was going down rain or shine.

This event was set up to benefit Boards for Bros; an organization that raises money to then build skateboards and give them out to the less fortunate, and hopefully teach the whole world how to skate.
