The third-annual Grominator youth skateboarding competition brought 25 kids to the Hood River Skate Park Saturday morning. The contest, held under the umbrella of Hood River County Community Education, is a youth-specific event open to boys and girls ages 15 and younger.

“It grows every year,” said organizer Michael FitzSimons. “It’s different than a lot of skate contests becuase it just focuses on the kids. It’s also put on by skate moms not skateboarders, so it’s a very kind atmosphere.”
