(TROY, MI) – Torrential rains may have shut the 40th Annual Troy Daze
Festival down on September 13, but not before the popular annual festival
contests were completed.
“Now
that we have had a chance to dry out, we are pleased to share the results of
the festival contests folks enjoy year after year,” Co-Chairs Michael Gonda and
Bob Berk said. “These fun traditions were
completed before the rains shut the festival down and we want to thank and
congratulate everyone – the organizers and the participants – for making them
such a success.”
