Congratulations to Kim Goodman of Brewster
Street, the winner of our Black Rock Day 2010 Theme Contest! Kim's idea
was the inspiration for this year's theme....
"Black Rock Rocks the Decades!"  This year on Black Rock Day we're celebrating the sites and sounds of the decades! From Poodle Skirts and The Platters to Parachute Pants and all things Madonna and MJ. From Bell Bottoms, Go-Go Boots and the Beatles to 90's Grunge and MC Hammer. From the Roaring 20's to the Millennium and everything in between, we want to see what you've got! And we want everyone to get in on this...not just those with houses on the parade route. Because on Sunday, June 13, 2010 Black Rock is Rockin' The Decades!!! For a .pdf version of the BRD flyer to hang in your store or share with your friends, click here. BLACK ROCK DAY PRESS RELEASE |
