Top Hatters 72nd Annual Run – July 6: It can no longer be called a Poker Run… so let’s just say the Top Hatters are hosting their 72nd Annual Definitely-Not-A-Poker-Run Motorcycle Run… with cards… maybe. Signup location and route hasn’t been confirmed yet.
Charlie Brechtel Band – July 6: According to It’s all about the Ride, there is a history, a legacy and a brotherhood that comprise the soul of the American biker. Those are also the elements that separate the music of the Charlie Brechtel Band from any other musician or band who aim their talents at the motorcycling community. Enjoy the show live (and free) at Corbin’s workshop on Saturday. To know more about the Charlie Brechtel band, click here.
Music and Entertainment – July 5-7: As you just read, Charlie will be keeping folks entertained for a good portion of the day on Saturday. For the rest of the weekend the rally will have a DJ and maybe even a special guest or two.
