with the attendance."

p.m. between 63rd street and 9th Ave.
Close to 175 people turned out for the
event with 75 to 80 registered drivers this

a lot more new drivers come out this year
and that's great to see," said Chouinard,

"People really loved the food that was
provided, and it was a big help having
them there.”
