Thanks to the Advanced Training Class from Ft. Indiantown Gap.
for Volunteering!
On June 6th we had 15 soldiers come from Indiantown Gap to volunteer for the day. They along with the Wednesday Crew moved every car in the Schmidt building, cleaned the floors of all dirt and oil and arranged the cars.The building now looks amazing just in time for our Behind the Scenes Tours on Father's Day!
|
|
They also helped place a new car for guests to take pictures with outside the building! The kids will be sure to love this new feature! Thank you again to the Soldiers and the Wednesday Crew!
