Support The Wheel Mill

April 16, 2020

With non-essential businesses being closed until further notice due to the coronavirus, there are a lot of businesses closed that need to ride out the storm and find a few ways to help keep the doors open. The Wheel Mill hit us up to let us know that they have launched an online store with a few fresh t-shirt designs for people to get their hands on. These shirts help support the park until they can get those doors back open and riders can get their fun on! If you have rode the park, or just wished you could get there some day, pick up a shirt since anything helps! Check it all out right here.

This is also a great reminder to support your local businesses or businesses you are fans of as much as you can during this time. A lot of people are stuck waiting until the all clear to get back to work, with bills still coming in, in the meantime.
