Rain clouds, rainbows, and racing highlight the day as the Racing for Smiles of the Northwest honoree, Sam, braved the cold and potential rain to spend the day at Meridian Speedway. Sam and his dad, Bob, arrived at the track and met with Ron Hayes, President of Racing for Smiles. Ron and Barbara Hayes, RFS treasurer presented Sam with a RFS bag filled with souvenir racing items.
