12 bikes and flag truck attended Home Dedication. Mission went pretty flawlessly and all riders were invited back to the sales center for a reception; most of us took advantage. Georgetown Fire Department showed up with their ladder truck but forgot an American flag. They now have one courtesy of the PGR Received a large round of applause when we were introduced to the attendees.All in all a fun mission.
