Final setup day is Friday August 20. This is the day we put down the wire, put up the rest of the fence, get the bleachers, sponsors and vendors, etc. in place. Same schedule as the first setup day. Please try to help if you can.
Saturday night hillclimb part is at Egelman's Park Pavilion, which is REALLY CLOSE to the hill! We'll be roasting a pig, cooking pasta, and barbecueing chicken. BMR will not be providing beer at this party on city property. We'll have a few door prizes, not nearly as many as last year unless you donate one. We'll have an auction to benefit Pagoda-Skyline, Inc. Please try to donate something we can auction off to help our friends..
New for this year:
Shuttle bus! Bus will make a continuous loop both days. Drivers will be Bonnie Weikel and Chuck Christ. Leaves from bottom of Hill Road at the light, travels up Hill Road to Angora Road and takes the back road up to the firetower with stops along the way. Comes back down the same route, so it shouldn't have any impact on the operation of the event. Free, but we will be asking riders to make a donation to benefit the Pagoda Flagpole Fund.
More vendors, at Turns 2, 7, and maybe finish line.
Bleachers, in memory of Lynne deHart and Joe Foering. Between 2 and 3 and between 7 and 8. (sponsored by Merlin Miller and Bill Shields)
Mayor will be at hill Saturday am, waving the green flag for a photo op. He has no interest in getting in a car for a ride up the hill.
Live radio! Y-102 will be there both days doing a remote broadcast. I think it will be for an hour or two each day, but it hasn't been finalized. Sponsored by Masano Auto Group.
There's more, but those are the biggies.
Please register early. Thanks!
