Spread Holiday Cheer with the Santa Fest Parade
Details of the Parade
The parade of lights is a sight to behold. Elaborately decorated floats, twinkling lights, and jolly Santa Claus himself lead the way. It's a procession that winds through the streets, filling the air with the sounds of holiday music and the laughter of children. The lights create a magical atmosphere that transports everyone to a winter wonderland.
As the parade makes its way, it also serves as a platform for the food drive and toy drive. Attendees are encouraged to bring non-perishable food items and toys to donate. These donations will go to local charities, helping those in need have a happy holiday season.
Food Drive Highlights
The food drive component of the Santa Fest event is a crucial part. It aims to address food insecurity in the community by collecting a large quantity of food. Volunteers work tirelessly to sort and organize the donations, ensuring that they reach those who need them most. The variety of food items collected during this drive is truly impressive, ranging from canned goods to fresh produce.
Not only does the food drive provide a practical solution to a problem, but it also brings people together. Neighbors and friends collaborate to fill boxes with food, forging a sense of community and unity. It's a reminder that even small acts of kindness can have a big impact.
Toy Drive Car Show
The toy drive car show is another exciting aspect of the Santa Fest event. Car enthusiasts from all over gather to showcase their prized vehicles. The cars are beautifully decorated, with holiday themes and lights adding to their charm. It's a chance for car lovers to admire the craftsmanship and creativity on display.
Alongside the car show, there is a dedicated area for the toy drive. Families can bring their new or gently used toys to donate, knowing that they will bring joy to a child's face. The car show and toy drive combine to create a fun and festive atmosphere that appeals to people of all ages.
CEO's Perspective on the Future
N2 CEO Jim Curtis expressed his delight in announcing the 2025 schedule and the decision to focus primarily on the track day business. This shift also marks the end of the successful N2/BobbleHeadMoto MotoAmerica race team and the halt of plans for the 2025 N2RA National Endurance Series. "We've had several years of remarkable success in racing, including a Daytona 200 win and growing a national endurance series. But now, with a thriving track day business and partnerships in place, it's time to redirect our resources to enhance our core business. We hope our supporters understand this decision," said Curtis.The effort required to maintain a high-quality racing product is substantial, and time is of the essence. By concentrating on our track day operations, we can continue to provide an exceptional experience for riders."
New Novice Rider Program
In 2025, N2 is introducing a first-time novice rider program to assist those new to the track in making the transition from the street to the racetrack. This year saw the successful expansion of the ATP (Advanced Training Program), and N2 plans to grow its offerings with other specialized training programs, joint events, dealer days, staff training events, and motorcycle demo events. Advanced group coaching also made a comeback this past year and will expand further in 2025.Riders can benefit from expert instruction and a safe environment tailored to their skill level and experience. N2's staff, many of whom are Yamaha Champions Riding School graduates and instructors, are dedicated to helping riders improve their skills and enjoy the track."
