For Tony Hawk fan Laurel Schooler, Sunday April 7th’s ‘Hawk Hunt’ is an annual event she’s been looking forward to since high school. Well, maybe not quite so long, but she has been a Hawk fan since her days of hanging out outside Thalia Mara with skater dudes in the 90′s. The self-described one time “Betty” who had a subscription to Thrasher Magazine, Schooler is Hawk’s local connection to a contest he’s held for four years.

Hawk Hunt has been shipping out 100 packages worldwide each year containing sponsor swag like socks, skate helmets and even food items.
