Updated: Jul 25


A still from "Saving Skateland" now streaming on Youtube

“So lace up, Pine Bluff. The comeback is on wheels.”

Skateland, was once a vibrant roller skating rink nestled in the heart of Pine Bluff.


The neon lights flicker, memories of disco balls and laughter linger, but the rink now stands silent, its future uncertain. Yet hope glides on in eight wheels, fueled by the determination of a few passionate souls.


K & C Media, armed with creativity and determination, embarked on a mission: help the Harringtons breathe life back into Skateland. This isn’t just about saving a rink; it's about revitalizing a community hub, preserving memories, and defying the odds.





Behind the Scenes: The Struggle and the Passion

“Saving Skateland” invites viewers behind the scenes, revealing a rollercoaster of emotions. The camera captures the sweat-soaked brows of the Harringtons, who have poured their hearts into this revival. Their partnership with K & C Media, a local creative agency, adds a fresh perspective. Together, they navigate the challenges—logistical, and emotional—of breathing life back into Skateland.



Marketing Maneuvers: From Nostalgia to Buzz

The rink’s revival hinges on community engagement. Themed nights transport skaters to different experiences: potential Taco Tuesday Karaoke nights, Father’s Day skate, and Grown & Sexy Sundays. School partnerships bring in the next generation, their laughter echoing off the walls. But it’s the digital realm where the magic truly unfolds.


Consistent high-quality posts flood social media feeds. Pictures of skaters mid-twirl, videos capturing the rhythm of wheels on wood, and graphics that evoke nostalgia—all curated meticulously. Local influencers lace up their skates, sharing their love for Skateland. Hashtags trend, and the buzz grows louder.



The Underdog’s Fight

Pine Bluff, once a bustling city, now grapples with decline. Skateland mirrors its struggle—a relic of the past, fading into obscurity. But the underdog spirit prevails. The rink becomes a symbol of resilience, a beacon for a community refusing to let go. Each spin of the wheels whispers, “We’re still here. We matter.”


Marketing Magic: Creativity and Community

The rink’s survival isn’t just about nostalgia; it’s about marketing magic. Creativity fuels the fire. Videos, photos and flyers—they all play a role. But it’s the community that breathes life into the faded walls. They share stories, rally in their virtual communities, and organize events. The power of storytelling, amplified by marketing, becomes a lifeline.



Lace Up and Join the Journey

“Saving Skateland” isn’t merely a show; it’s a testament to the resilience of small-town dreams. As the sun sets, casting long shadows over the rink, families gather. With popcorn in hand, you can cheer for every spin, every stumble, every victory. The wheels turn, and hope glides forward. Pine Bluff watches, united, as Skateland reclaims its place in their hearts.


So lace up your skates, Pine Bluff. The comeback is on wheels, and the journey is just beginning.
