Time: 1 p.m. – Meet at Owens Cycle What: Motorcycle Run through Yakima PLUS a Show & Shine at the Fair. It’s Pepsi Day at the Fair and it isn’t just for the kids! We want big kids with cool toys to join us for a fun afternoon. Of course, Non‐Harley riders are welcome too! 1:00 p.m. Meet at Owens Cycle on North First Street, Yakima. (Fair will issue wristbands for fair admission and beads for distribution at the retirement homes.) 1:30 p.m. SHARP! Kickstands up! Depart from Owens and visit several retirement homes delivering “Fair beads.” 3:30 p.m. Enter Fairgrounds through Gate #3 off of Fair Avenue from Nob Hill. Stage bikes in front of Agriculture Building. Fair Security will direct. 6:30 p.m. Exit fairgrounds with bikes. Those that participate in the ride are welcome to move their bikes into the Gold Lot after exiting through Gate 3 at 6:30 p.m. You may return to enjoy the Charlie Daniels Band concert at 7 p.m. on the Budweiser Stage. Your wristband is your credential for entry. Reserved seats for the concert are available to purchase through www.ticketswest.com. There is also limited free seating available for the show. Many seniors who reside in retirement communities are no longer able to attend the fair because of physical limitations. Take a little piece of fun to them while you, as a group, enjoy your toys for an afternoon ride. Then show off your bikes to the fairgoers. Mark your calendars for September 26! Please note that all bikes/riders must have an appropriate credential for Fair entry. Credentials will be issued at Owens Cycle prior to the ride. You must arrive as ONE group for entry to the Fair. No late arrivals and no early departures. You must come and go together for security and safety reasons. Owens Contact: Duane Worrell, 509.575.1916, opt. 2 Fair Contact: |

Hit about 5 of these locations, and if you're going to not interrupt a meal time or sleep, this will work. On the weekends family members are visiting. So if you are staging an event such as this then Wed at this time brings a host of happy faces waiting and watching for the bikes. If you have ever done anything like this before you'd know how important it is to the people in the retirement centers to know that they are not forgotten. If you want a great feeling, don't miss this event even if you have to take time from work. It's an event that gives the riders more in return than the people you are visiting.  |

If it was on a Friday I would have been there. Or a Monday. Well, I will spread the word to my out-of-work friends. |

Vets, retirees, business owners, and those that worked different shifts. Maybe even some that were unemployed, although the bikes I saw did not represent that group. You won't forget this ride if you go, highly recommended, and a day at the fair after the ride. I think if I recall I was the only sports bike of the bunch. After the ride they opened up the gate and we ran our bikes in along the path and parked out in front of one of the big large exhibit halls for a few hours and the people checked out our bikes, and then we were given free parking close in along the fence to the entrance once we were ushered out of the fair, and we continued checking out the fair after reparking our bikes. |

I would have been at it earlier, but my dog found a skunk, and just had to have it. So I'm on skunk wash duty just as soon as I google skunk diy mixes. I know the old standby tomato sause with parts of everything including the kitchen sink, and my dogs tail is still bleached out from 6 years ago when I used hydrogen peroxide in the mix. I just love this detail! |

There was 39 bikes, and only 3 sportsbikes, two of them yours. It was great fun and some outrageous bikes, nice hanging out with you too. We'll do it again next year!!! Maybe we'll get 4 sportbikes with 2 of yours in that count. |
