Our volunteers have been working on this event for over one year now and it is turning into a HUGE success however, the real success will be known once we are able to show our appreciation to our veterans on the day of the event.
We want to make sure all veteran services know that they are invited to set up informational booths at the event. We will have an area roped off for these booths. We do ask that they are all set up by 11am as to avoid the returning motorcycles from the morning poker run.
