One
Famm Records, Inc. and Tee Motocross in Tacoma will
celebrated their 6th Annual Juneteenth Celebration on
June 18, 2006 at 1504 Martin Luther King Jr Way,
Tacoma WA 98404 from 12-7pm. This annual event is
part block party, part celebration, and most important
to showcase unity within the community. For those of you
that don't know, June 19, a.k.a., Juneteenth, is the
celebration of the Emancipation of African Americans.
Now don't be fooled; this event is open to everyone. Why
celebrate Black History Month only in February? Every
year FAMM devotes an entire day of song, music and food
to the community. Did I mention this event is totally
FREE?
With the help of sponsors, they were able to provide all
free of charge, two jumpers for the kids, over 1,000 hot
dogs, free CD's and sodas! Throughout the day dancers,
skits, and music from various genres of music
entertained the crowd. At the other end of the event the
audience saw a preview of some of the local car clubs
who will be displaying their cars in the upcoming Import
Car Show. For many kids this was their first time to see
"3-wheel motion" up close and personal. One of the cars
danced to the windows literally broke. Many thanks to
Stop Mart, Bill's Towing, Def Jam, Universal, BMG, SONY,
Red Distribution, Hard Knock Wheels, Destiny Center, The
New Y, Jones Soda, Merry Makers, Pebbles Playhouse and
Pre-School, Data NW Minuteman Press and the Fish House.
Special thanks City of Tacoma, Tacoma Police and the
entire Hilltop Community. Hope to see you there next
year! |
