Riding weather is slow in coming, however that hasn’t prevents some of our members from riding. The Colonel and Pokey rode their bikes down to Myrtle Beach, SC for bike week.
In preparation for Memorial Day, the riders and volunteers from the Post placed about 1750 flags on Veteran’s graves. Thanks goes out to all who helped in this annual event.
Our Legion Riders also managed the Post's meat wheel event which was a great success for the post. Many thanks go out to Colonel and Pokey for their work in the event. The next Meat wheel event is 14 June at 3PM.
