Opening night we will have a bratwurst and beer cookout. Donations for Thursday’s food. Friday night through Sunday morning we will have hot meals, but no lunches as everyone is out riding. We will also have the amenities you’ve come to know and love, nightly bonfires, fresh fruits, snacks and amazing beverages. Registration before 1/31/19 is $80. Afterwards registration is $100. Limited parking, we are in the tent area so no motor homes.
