They are right down the street so it’s very convenient.“But they love sitting out here, every year, and cheering these guys on,” she added. “It’s just become such a tradition here… We love hosting this event, we love having them come through every year. It gets exciting as you can see, we’ve got music, and lots of smiles.”
