"CELEBRATION OF LIFE" & SLOW DOWN/MOVE OVER AWARENESS PARADE & EVENT

Join us at 5:30 pm in an event to celebrate the lives of Towers who have passed on before us (Anyone that has passed of natural causes or in the line of duty) and to raise more awareness as well as promote Slow Down/Move Over. We will have a parade, food and games to celebrate their lives and the time they invested in our great Industry. We encourage you to participate in this parade with tow trucks leading the way and personal vehicles to follow. Please feel free to promote SlowDown/Move Over with any signage on your trucks. I will reach out to Police, Fire and EMS as well as news media to gain support. Once we get back to the Great Wolf Lodge, we will have food, drinks and live entertainment. Let's celebrate these lives with honor while raising more awareness to SLOW DOWN/MOVE OVER !!
