Cross-country skateboarder travels through Clay County

CELEBRITY PASSES THROUGH-Multiple sightings of Brooke Johnson, who is famously known as @brookdoeseverything on Instagram, were reported last week when the celebrity skateboarding 3,000 miles across America to raise funds for spinal cord research traveled through Clay County on Highway 52 East to Livingston on her way from Venice Beach, CA to New York City. Social media was abuzz with her arrival and several locals caught up with her along the way. Carly Lynn, her husband Johnny, her son Stevie, and her mother Melissa took this selfie with Johnson on day 98 of her trip just outside of Celina. Her goal is to raise $50,000 in honor of her late stepfather and become the first woman to make the cross-country trip on a skateboard. “It was the neatest thing,” Carly said of her encounter with Johnson. “She said it was the first time she had held a baby (Stevie) for a picture on her trip. She was very friendly and she seemed to be in good spirits!” (shared photo)
