I had such a blast! It was great working with so many dedicated volunteers, it just made the day fun. The event is a lot of work but well worth it when you see so many folks having a such great time!

What a night it was! Thanks for posting these great shots, Jim, and thanks to all of our incredible volunteers, sponsors, fire/police/city workers, staff, vendors, participants, and partners. And, thanks to everyone who came to the event. We hope you had fun!
