2011
What a year! This was most definatly the most well attended derby yet, with early estimates at 10,000 attendees! Speaking for those who rode in the parade, it was beautiful and exciting to see the one thousand or so people who thronged Norris Street as the parade returned from it's route to take on the challenge of the mudpit.
Thanks to everyone who helped out, built a sculpture, sponsored our little shin dig, or just showed up!
