Centennial Memory #36: PA DeMolay Convention Meets Tony Stewart

To celebrate the DeMolay Centennial, PA DeMolay will be counting down 100 memories worth celebrating that took place within the DeMolay Chapters and Jurisdiction of Pennsylvania.

Today is the Daytona 500. With this in mind, I figured the weekend's posts should have a racing theme to it. Yesterday, we covered the Mini Grand Prix. Today, we will mention the time that the members of PA DeMolay met a racing legend.

During the annual 2012 PA DeMolay Convention in York, several activities were planned for enjoyment. One of the events held was to spend a few hours at Speedway 94 Family Entertainment Center in Hanover. The members were already destined to have a great time, but as an added bonus, they had the chance to meet race car driver Tony Stewart. Below you will see a picture of State Master Councilor, Matt Blaisdell, International Master Councilor, Andrew Prescott, and other members and sweethearts of PA DeMolay with Tony Stewart. 

Centennial Memory #37: Mini Grand Prix Races

To celebrate the DeMolay Centennial, PA DeMolay will be counting down 100 memories worth celebrating that took place within the DeMolay Chapters and Jurisdiction of Pennsylvania.

The Mini Grand Prix races were designed to bring Masons and other Masonic affiliated groups together for a day of fun and fellowship. The event started at Autumn Days and expanded to its own event, held at the Masonic Village in Elizabethtown.

Pennsylvania DeMolay, thanks to the sponsorship efforts of Lodge No. 9 in Philadelphia, had it's own race car for the event. Two active members, both of which were over the age of 18 with a valid drivers license, drove the vehicle in the race. Elected State Officers and various members of the PA DeMolay staff worked on the pit crew. Although full of tough competition, it served as a great way to bring Masonic lodges and other groups together.
