October is ! Did you know that Belgian inventor John Joseph Merlin debuted one of the earliest pairs of roller skates in 1760, when he reportedly rolled into a party while playing the violin? Merlin's demonstration ended when he crashed, but his invention left a lasting impression. In 1860, New York businessman James Plimpton popularized roller skating as a leisure activity when he opened the first skating rink.
