What an awesome day at the Cops and Cars Annual Car Show/ Touch-A-Truck for Tommy's Place event in Falmouth!
We had a great time sharing our Follow A Dream Nitro Funny Car, meeting so many amazing kids and families, and supporting such a wonderful cause. Rachel stayed busy all day twisting balloon dogs, dinosaurs, rabbits, swords, and more, putting smiles on lots of faces.
A big thank you to Tommy's Place for putting together such a fantastic event. We're grateful to have been a part of a day filled with fun, community, and making memories. We hope to see everyone again soon!
