These are all records - thanks to to our volunteers and members, and thanks to BOPARC for the great location.
We ended the day with a live jazz band - the Mountaineer Jazz Project - for everyone who stuck around to help straighten up afterwards. 

The Mountaineer Jazz Project trio performs for the volunteer after-party.

 The picture below shows how many (few) bikes we had left at the end of the day, and some of the bikes that were repaired during the day and are ready to be picked up by customers.
