Motorcycles, food, music and veterans were on The Highground at Friday night’s opening ceremony for the Ride to Remember Motorcycle Rally. Riders and visitors enjoyed sandwiches and ice cream treats prepared by Hardee’s. After a short ceremony, which included an inspirational speech by Katherine Schneider, PHD and remembering Wisconsin KIA’s from Iraq and Afghanistan, everyone enjoyed entertainment by Country Music singers Paige & Kim.
175 motorcycles registered for the guided tours throughout the day. The motorcycle procession to The Highground was an awesome experience. Flags flown by The American Legion Riders, Neillsville American Legion Post 73, Greenwood American Legion Post 238, Boyd American Legion Post 326 and the Neillsville Boy Scouts lined the road into the Highground Plaza parking lot. Riders
rode in to the tolling of the Liberty Bell and cheers by visitors. Following a short ceremony, a picnic lunch was enjoyed by everyone.
The Highground’s Ride to Remember Motorcycle Rally would like to thank WCCN for the use of their parking lot for this annual event. We also want to thank all of the sponsors for their continuing support. |
