We are especially thankful for all Veterans and their families! The Gold Star Families purchased this wall to honor all their members. Pastor Chad Zueck who is also a Veteran will speak and the Gold Star Families will also speak about what it means to be a part of their special group. Please join us as we honor all those who have or are serving our great Country!

Sorry we didn’t post this sooner, but we were waiting for final numbers to be totaled. Our run on July 26 was a big success. We raised a little over $28,000 and we could not have done it without all of your help. This was a bittersweet year for us since this is the last PTSD run that we will be putting on. Over the 11 years that we’ve been doing this we have been putting on the PTSD run. We have raised over $400,000. This money in the early years went to provide service dogs for veterans suffering from PTSD and we later transition to helping local vets that were struggling with their bills, housing food, transportation. I want to personally thank all of you that I supported us year after year after year. Without your help, we would not have been able to raise a fraction of this. Year after year not only has the local community supported us, but also several motorcycle clubs in the area.  we are very honored and humbled that you all have continued to support us by showing up year after year bidding on auction items, donating auction items simply coming out to enjoy the show and enjoy the ride. This run is planned 10 months out of the year. I am proud to announce that in the 11 years we have had this run. We have not had one single motorcycle go down. That is because of the hard work of our road captains making sure everybody stay safe and all of you riding and driving safely. Again, I want to thank everybody for all the support over the years. We love you all very much.

We have a great event coming up that will benefit the Veterans Memorial out at the lake and Goldstar Families. If you have never been to a quarter auction then you are missing out. Come out to the VFW for ours and have a great time.
