The 2017 Desert Storm Street Party opened up today to sweltering temps and eager boating fans and RDP was there to bring swag, a cold beverage or two, and a party that had the whole street captivated till they the powers that be shut it down. In true RDP style the whole street next to Bad Dogs was shut down in order to make room for some show stopping customs, a full concert stage with Matt Ferris headlining, and the sprawling RDP merchandise booth as the center piece of it all.

In addition to the happenings at the RDP booth, fans were greeted with an array of amazing boats, excited vendors, and enough entertainment to make even the most cynical of fans smile. There were HUGE boats on tilt trailers, helicopters, engine builders, stereo demos, and even the occasional promo girls to keep the action moving at a fervid pace.

Tomorrow is the big Poker Run and RDP raft up. If you aren?t registered in the Poker Run be sure to leave Thompson Bay early enough to make it down to the raft up just north of the pump station toward Havasu Springs before the big dogs of the Poker Run descend on us for what is sure to be a great show of speed and horsepower! We will have a fly over photo-op of the Raft Up between 10:30 and 11:00 AM so get down there early and put your party face on!
