Pistons pep rally today

Well... the Pistons Pep Rally tour wrapped up today at International Park downtown Toledo on the river.

Great turnout for two weeks of promotion on a 500 watt station. We did get some help from media partners FOX Toledo , BCSN and The Toledo Blade.

And since the event was 3-6pm on a weekday... when most are still working... I think it went well. I left at 5pm and there was about 150-200 people there including Toledo Mayor Carty Finkbeiner... who I enlisted to do a promo for WNWT AM 1520 "Toledo's Radio Home of the Pistons"




The Pistons put on one heckuva show! TWO tour busses, one for the support staff, plus "pop-a-shot" for charity and more. The Detroit Shock were to have had players there...but alas no one could make it.

All Pistons on this one. Dance team AutoMotion were great!




All in all 70 people, aside from the three players and coaches, made all of this come off. The City of Toledo gets props for allowing us to get the Pistons to International Park on very short notice. Of course...the Mayor is a big fan. That always helps.

Pictures of the event to follow later. I took A LOT of video.... 2.2GB worth, lol! IF I get the gumption to try to edit it and post I will.
