As you know, we had a contest online to ask the citizens what they wanted the city hall team dressed as. It was either Scooby Doo or the Wizard of Oz. Scooby Doo won, so here we are in our Scooby Doo attire with our Mystery Machine boat and we are ready to go. I have a good feeling we are gonna win this year,” said Clarksville Mayor Kim McMillan.
