WHAT A DAY!
Both the North Gratiot Cruise and the Chesterfield 5K were a resounding success! Our second annual Chesterfield 5K began the day with a rewarding and invigorating trek through Chesterfield.
Once we hit noon, the focus went over to the Gratiot corridor as beautiful and unique cars were on parade for all to see! Car aficionados talked shop as the grills kept people fed and live music kept things rocking. And we were fortunate to have some September sunshine throughout the cruise!
Our sincerest thanks to those who attended the day’s events. And double thanks to our event sponsors who made all of this possible. Special shout out to our Presenting Sponsor for both events, the Tamer Foundation! Through our nonprofit organization, The North Gratiot Cruise Foundation, we were once again able to raise money to support various community groups in Macomb County.
