This week's KID WHO ROCKS is Traiten!

Traiten's already established his own small business, detailing cars, trucks & other rides - spending countless hours on the best products to use to make everything shine like new!

Not only does he run his own business, but he's also working another part-time job and helps out at home, including taking care of his little sis!

Traiten & a friend will join The River at Scary Acres in September at our Rock party as a reward for his hard work!

KEEP ROCKING TRAITEN!
