Detroit Fireworks Night at the Dodge Pits
While we were some distance away, the Detroit fireworks pot-luck gathering at Pit Tower was a big success!
The guesstimate I heard was 140 people, I'd say that's conservative. It was nice to see everyone in a casual setting outside of a volunteer meeting or at the races. Plans are to do it again in 2014.
MANY THANKS to Jim & Carol Verkennis, Jeffry White, Ray Dong, and everyone else who helped host this event!
Cleanup Days Continue
The next cleanup dates are July 8 & 9, then it is GO time!
