The Rust Belt posted the following message on its Facebook page on Saturday:

WE CROSSED THE FINISH LINE!! This is huge for us. This is a gate way. This is what was so necessary for our continued growth. I am fighting the urge to write a lengthy essay on the American dream and how it is still alive despite all the recent bleakness of the past 5 years. I will spare you the sappy dramatics and just say thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. We will not disappoint. This award you have given us will not be taken lightly. You will be impressed!
