Thanks to you and your support of North River Racing and the Washington
State School for the Blind, we successfully raised money for the
school's activities program during yesterday's Vancouver Courthouse
Crit. We could not have done it without your help. The racers and OBRA
staff were very impressed with how smoothly everything went. You all
made our jobs so much easier.
The day's events started off with a spirited tandem race with the
volunteer captains and the blind stokers. They raced as hard as their
big hearts could go. Following the tandem's were the kiddie crits and
every child had a huge smile on their face and were smiling even more as
they received their gift bag from the Frog Store. I could hear those
cowbells ringing! Once the kiddie crits were over the Juniors took the
stage, followed by the rest of the categories in both Men's and Women's
racing. Each race winner received a custom medal engraved by Columbia
Machine. Bortolami's supplied a free large pizza for 1st place, a medium
for 2nd and a small for 3rd. Preems were given in every race thanks to
the donations from Cyclepath and Starbucks. The bell lap cash preems
were courtesy of the Vancouver Bicycle Club.
Thanks to our sponsors: Vancouver Bicycle Club, Bortolami's Pizzeria,
Cyclepath Bike Shop, Starbucks, the Frog Store and Columbia Machine
A special thanks to New Heights church who stepped up and clearly
demonstrated why they are a great organization and an integral part of
the community. The free BBQ was a huge success for spectators,
volunteers and racers. The ice water and frozen flavored otter pop wagon
was also a great idea and thank you Alan Hamilton for that.
Sincerely,
Jon E. Kraft
