Thank you to everyone who came out in support of the bed races! ๐ŸŽ‰

๐Ÿ‘ Kudos to our 5 teams who braved the heat and raced their hearts out. It was a scorcher and they took it in stride.

๐Ÿฅˆ Second place went to the Hasty Pastries from Proof (coming to downtown Dundee soon!)

โ€ข Custom Pest Control
โ€ข Knapp & Schlappi Lumber Co.
โ€ข Nathan Kendall Wines
โ€ข Team Charlie

๐ŸŽจ Thank you to our valued artists, community partners, and volunteers:
โ€ข Diane Brownell Caricature Art
โ€ข Painted Love Face & Body Painting by Jen Sekella โ€ข Taylor Sullivan and The Fire Auxiliary for the Dessert Wheel
โ€ข John Frederick for serving as our MC
โ€ข Kristen VanValkenburg for helping out in the Kids' Zone
