RKNC's 2nd annual Draft-N-Go, held on March 25 at Gordon Moore Park in Alton, IL, was a success (despite exploding tires and a touch of humidity), and gave some competitors a chance to practice under draft-test conditions at the draft test site.

RKNC in the News(paper) Again!

The Metro edition of the St Louis Post-Dispatch for 25 Nov. featured three photos of the downtown St Louis parade; one of those photos was of the RKNC parade contingent, prominently featuring Finale (owned by Carol Giffhorn) pulling her sled! The photo's caption specifically mentioned the RKNC. There's also an image of Nemo pulling his wagon featured on the KMOV-TV (St Louis channel 4) website; both of these images are available by clicking the thumbnail to the right.
