Gold Cup 2016 100th Anniversary Photo Recap August 28

The final day of watching the Gold Cup 2016 100th Anniversary was a very hot and mostly sunny day.  Boats raced continuously with no major incidents.  Lots of fans and a great time.  Here’s a few photos to share some of the excitement throughout the day…

Top 4 finishers for the Gold Cup 2016 weekend (from right to left ABOVE PHOTO) are J. Michael Kelly, Jimmy Shane, Jeff Bernard, and Brian Perkins.

There was a tornado warning for Monroe County during the afternoon, which is the south end of the Detroit River.  Luckily the bad weather stayed away.

Fun to walk around the pits, which anyone could have done for an extra $20

Only one minor incident we saw Sunday.

Several foods stands set up behind the Grandstand seating.

If you haven’t attended the Gold Cup yet, you should check it out for next year! As you may have noticed, there were several boats anchored at the north end of the course for great viewing too.
