Legends Never Die…Andy “A-Dog” Williams earned legend status long before he passed on to the other side and anyone who was blessed to have crossed paths with our fallen brother would agree. Now each year, on the day of his birth, his closest friends and family come together to celebrate his life and legacy with a day full of love, art, music and skateboarding in Burlington, Vermont. This event seems to elevate year by year but to take it up even further there was a new skatepark built in his name for everyone to enjoy. Good times as always! For more info about the foundation check out FriendsForADog.org<\/a> and peep some more photos of the event by Craig Wetherby<\/a> after the jump.<\/p>\n

Spirits were flying high…<\/p>\n
