Watching this blind skateboarder will amaze and inspire you

Tommy Carroll is completely blind, but he executes ollies and skates ramps whenever he gets the urge. A late diagnosis of cancer of the retinas, or bi-lateral retinoblastoma, left Tommy blind at age 2 — in fact, his eyes are prosthetics. Tommy started skating in third grade, and two years ago skating legend Tony Hawk visited Tommy on his home turf in Glenview, Ill. Tommy’s now studying at Northwestern University and says people were constantly telling him: “You’re going to kill yourself. Blind people can’t skateboard.” Boy, does he prove them wrong. So far the worst he’s done is chip a tooth — and the best is to inspire us all.

First Night Columbus

First Night was brought to Columbus in 1995. It is part of an international
alliance of more than 100 cities that showcase the visual and performing arts through New Year’s Eve celebrations that are safe, affordable and fun, while being substance-free.

On December 31st, First Night Columbus actively engages the downtown community with entertainment, transforming the city into a stage where each individual is free to choose what to see and do. First Night provides hands-on activities involving the imagination and creativity of all participants as well as entertainment at more than 10 different indoor venues in Downtown Columbus including Veterans Memorial and COSI.

This year First Night is moving to The Mile! Patrons will be able to stroll the Scioto Mile to enjoy entertainment at any of our three NEW venues: Columbia Gas, The Supreme Court Building and the Ohio Department of Employment Services. Admission to all these venues is included with the purchase of the 2103 First Night Columbus button. The night concludes with a Grand Finale and fireworks show at Midnight (in front of COSI).

The event is Monday December 31, 2012
FUN STARTS at 5 p.m.
