TRORA 2017: Another Successful Season!

On November 18, 2017 the membership of Three Rivers Outboard Racing Association convened at the race shop of Jesse, Tara and Jase Ward to celebrate a successful season! Commodore Brian Williams reported to the group that TRORA was fortunate to celebrate many local, regional and national successes during the racing year. In addition to many long-term multi-generation members the club is seeing many new and young racers. Banquet attendees enjoyed a wonderful buffett dinner coordinated by the Ward family, and had fun with a raffle while watching vintage footage of old TRORA events.
