These pictures are from the 2002 Chardon Maple Festival Parade. We had the karts of Dave Paternitti, Christian Marsh, Keith Paternitti, and Russ Hamilton driving Doug Marsh's kart since Doug was behind the wheel of our parade tow vehical, a brand new Saturn Vue on loan from Saturn of Mentor. Our banner graced the front of the Vue and we were fortunate to have several lovely volunteers passing out over 700 flyers to parade goers. We also were lucky to have an informed announcer at the viewing stand provide the crowd with valid information and descriptions of karting. |

03/19/2002 The Introduction to Karting seminar at the Great Outdoors Trailer company on March 17 was a success. Seventy-two people, many of whom had already purchased karts, attended the seminar to learn what karting is all about. Here are two pages of pictures from the seminar. The information presented at the seminar will be included shortly in the Newkarter section of this website. Email us with any questions or comments that you have about the seminar to ckra@ckra.org. |
03/11/2002 Our booth at the new car was very successful. A common question was "Where can I buy a kart?" Most of the people who will be attending our seminar, see item below, will be looking for a kart. Those of you with used karts and stuff for sale can either bring it to the seminar or can email us a list of what you have for sale at ckra@ckra.org. |
