CAA Holiday Party is right around the corner…this Sunday, January 29th at 4pm-7pm, downstairs at the Portsmouth Brewery. Come alone, bring a friend or significant other, and wear your favorite(or least favorite) race shirt! This is not a requirement, we just thought it would be something fun to do this year. There will be some light appetizers, cold beverages and great raffle prizes. We will be accepting renewals at the party…so bring your checkbook or $20 cash!
We will have CAA HATS(COBALT AND WHITE) for sale at the party for $15. We will bring an assortment of LONG SLEEVE (white and blue)shirts $20!
