York Super Boat Grand Prix September 10 - 12, 2010
The Annual NY Super Boat International's Grand Prix will be taking
place again this year on the Hudson River as racers prepare for
November's World Championship in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.
That's right! All are welcomed to watch this event since public
viewing of the race can be carried out on the Hudson River shores.
So here we are in 2010 looking to commemorate and memorialize that fateful day which despite the years for some of us feels like yesterday. There'll be the September Concert going on throughout the city with the aim of filling the skies with music. Aside from this there will also be other chances for one and all to spend the day in perhaps more solemn fashion. Whatever you choose to do this day may your day and every day thereafter be filled with peace.
