March 31st, 2007Revving Up the Downtown
LA PORTE, TX (March 31, 2007) For the past 6 years the Comfort Suites La Porte has been the hotel of choice for the Don Schumacher Drag Racing Team during the O’Reilley NHRA Spring Nationals.
In March of 2007 the Comfort Suites La Porte teamed up with Schumacher to sponsor a community event in historic downtown La Porte’s Main Street.
The U.S. Army top fuel dragster attended, along with two of their motorcycles. Local citizens and hotel guests alike walked around, got close to the vehicles, and chatted.
The event was organized to support the revitalization of Historic Downtown La Porte. Like most small towns functioning as a large city suburb the community is making a strong effort to energize it’s downtown area and strengthen community involvement. Comfort Suites La Porte loves to be part of those kinds of efforts.
Drawings were held for several prizes, including a free night’s stay at the Comfort Suites La Porte, dinner for 2 at the Main 101 Bar & Grill, and a combination of the two.
The Schumacher Racing Team was on hand to meet the public as well, and the drivers were giving autographs to the crowds.
Live music was provided for this event and as you can see (almost) everyone had a good time.
