PSAs are always a good start.  Plaster flyers up in local schools,
libraries and grocery stores.  Get volunteers to roller skate through local
malls and pass out flyers.  Host an old fashioned sock hop in the museum
and have skating outside.  Have a "vintage skate day" where people can
bring in their old pairs of roller skates and show them off.

Good luck!
