Hug & The Embracers would like to Thank Amy and the Jefferson Memorial Park car cruise staff. It was an honor to be part of such a great event. We enjoyed getting to know you all. The event was a real winner with the donations benefiting the Heyward House. We found it a joy to be a part. Thank you for your hospitality. We look forward to next year's event. We will be ready to Rock n Roll again!Review by Kevin S.
