Secretary Robby Zimmerman says there has been an outpouring of support and visitors from all over to skate there.

”We’ve had a lot of people come in and skate,” Zimmerman said. “We’ve had people traveling I think as far as three or four hours, is what I’ve heard. And so that was really cool to have some conversations with people from all over Kentucky.
