The Drum Experts were pleased to be involved again with the Louie Bellson Memorial 5K “Drum Roll” Run on Saturday, October 22, 2011. The race was held at the Moline High School in Moline Illinois.

The weather was perfect for running.....sunny, crisp and clear. There were even 4 wild turkeys that wandered out on the course to greet the runners. Where else are you going to find that kind of unique "scenery" during a 5K race!

This year's top race finishers: Theresa Johnson Perisho & Jerry Lack

The top runners were awarded prizes, including Louie Bellson gourmet cookie bouquets from The Cookie Garden & The Drum Experts and grand prizes of Louie Bellson Tom Tom drums from the 5K Race Committee.

This year's 2nd place finishers: Judy Greene & Bob Thompson

Be sure to put this great race on your calendar for next year. You can also keep track of the race on the Official Louie Bellson Memorial Race Facebook Fan Page.
