Free: Dan Wheldon's Indy 500 Welcome-Home Rally

Jannus Live hosts a free welcome-home party for two-time Indianapolis 500 winner Dan Wheldon, who lives in St. Petersburg. The city's mayor will read a proclamation at 5:30pm. After a short video presentation, an interview with Wheldon, and other ceremonials, the Jeremy Thomas Band will entertain the crowd. Free autographed posters of Wheldon available. Also, because Wheldon is a spokesman for the Alzheimer's Association, members of the charity will be collecting donations.
