Race Memorial &
Cacklefest® Parade
To open the show the the Inductees
were introduced leading off with Grand Marshall Kelly Brown.
All were riding in some really cool hotrods.
Prior to the start of the cacklecar
parade it is a tradition to read the names of those who have
left us since the 2017 CHRR. Each year the list seems to get
longer and this was no exception. It is a sobering reminder of
why we have these reunions in the first place. They were read
with respect by Bob Frey to a hushed crowd.
