Don’t forget to bring your lawn chair and/or blanket so you can hang out afterward at the Post-Race Party at Piddle Park and enjoy food and drink from a variety of vendors while listening to live music by Nashville recording artist Taylor Henry (10:00 AM-12:00 PM) as we celebrate 250 years of independence in our beloved nation. The live concert will take place immediately following our awards presentation at the stage adjacent to the basketball courts.
