Thank you Reisterstown and AITA, Miggs Rangel, STMNTS, Bond and Bentley, Fantasm and Doc Marten and the Flannels.

Also a huge thanks to the committee who helped make today happen. We dipped and dodged some crazy weather in our region today but proved that summer truly lasts a week longer in Reisterstown.

See you all tomorrow!
