Indy 500 Party

Not sure how many of you keep up with the Indianapolis 500, but I know for sure that Sean Harshey does. He not only keeps up with it, but he took on the challenge to set up a Baghdad, Iraq Indy 500 event. Sean has a few good connections back in Indy and coordinated an event for the Soldiers deployed here in Iraq. He went to great lengths to have flyers prepared, have event items such as official programs, t-shirts, hats, playing cards and banners mailed here to be given to the Soldiers attending the event, and he even made sure there was enough food for 200 people! It was an awesome achievement to pull off, but on top of all that, he even coordinated to have a live video feed to from Iraq to ABC Sports back in the states. Because of this, during the national anthem, the T.V. station cut over to our event live! What an amazing event to have participated in. The room was full of Indy fans and also a lot of people from Indiana who have been activated for Operation Iraqi Freedom. Below are pictures of Sean and the fans.
