The park is Alcohol free, and it will be enforced. We will be speaking with the event coordinate and hope get the same spot as previous years. That is on top of the hill right up from the starting gate. to follow but this will be the official thread for this event.
Parking is FREE. We will do our best to have this near the event.
Bikes will be placed in an area of their perspective category. EX: All 70 - 79 bikes together, All Freestyle Bikes Together. The show is FREE for all spectators. You should be able to park right near your swap or show items just like in the past. If you are unsure, PLEASE ASK!
In the past this has been a great event and most who have attended come back. SO, LETS HAVE FUN!
To qualify for FREE show bikes, they MUST be pre-registered by August 28. After that each bike is $5. This will help with the bottleneck at registration as well as offset costs to make the event happen.
We will have a 50/50 raffle which we will draw before awards and there will be prizes to raffle off as well.
Last year we were done with the show about 3 PM I would think this year would be along the same lines.
