Polaris teamed up with Tampa area Alzheimers Association. A rally was scheduled for June 20th afternoon, the Longest Day to raise awareness of this crippling disease. The rally featured a meet up at Ford's Garage, Brandon, then a drive across the Sunshine Skyway for sunset, while the bridge lighting was turned purple, along with other Tampa landmarks. Stopped for pictures at the southern end of bridge rest area.
Fox 13 did a short morning feature on the event, which included a send-off by the Mayor. Justin Schumaker led the 40 minute ride in the purple painted Sling from Minnesota.
We had 5 slings from the SW FL Slingshot riders travel north to Tampa to join the event. All totaled, maybe about 55-60 slings, and another 30 Spyders. Great ride for a great cause.
Donna and I had a great ride with Bob and Cathy; Daryl and Norma; Ron and Karen; and Dennis. Got back home after 10, great day and night for a ride.
Here is link to tv footage.
