It's official, three time Indy 500 Winner and Dancing with the Stars winner, Miami resident, Helio Castroneves is the Grand Marshall of this year's Great Grove Bed Race on September 6.
There was a press conference this morning atop the Mayfair Hotel at Cabana One and all the media was there. Look for the reports all over the local news today.

Congratulations to all those wonderful, hardworking and creative Grovites that helping to bring back the very much loved and missed Coconut Grove Bed Race. Getting Helio Castroneves to be the Grand Marshall and inviting the participation of UM Sleep Center and the Alonzo Mourning Charities was also brilliant. Thanks so much for your efforts to revitalize our community with an event that helped brand Coconut Grove as an eclectic and fun loving village that we were and wish to continue to be again. Your efforts and accomplishments are greatly appreciated by all of us that live, work and visit Coconut Grove. Harry Emilio Gottlieb
This is huge for the grove and just great to hear. Helio needed some positive PR, the bed race needed promotion, and it's a great fit.
Just don't let him handle filing the taxes for the event.
Great news. Thank you to everyone who worked so hard to pull this together. Quality events in the Grove!
