Special thanks to DJ Fabian, who served as our event emcee, to Nick Guzman, who kicked off the opening ceremony with a special song and entertained us after the Walk, and to members of “501st Legion: Vader’s Fist” for entertaining us all. A huge thank you to Walk Chair Dave House and the Sonoma Walk committee members for making this Walk so successful. And finally, without the gracious and generous staff at Infineon Raceway this event could not have happened – thank you for your continued support!
