Riders Needed For Santa Parade!
It isn’t REALLY a parade, but more of a motorcycle escort for Santa Claus at NorthStar (see item above). We’re looking for a dozen or so riders to bring their bikes just before Noon on Saturday, December 15. We’ll gather at the far northeast corner of the parking lot (out of view from the kiddies) and then ride toward the building in a slow procession. Good opportunity to show off for your children or grandchildren! Send a note to darrisblackford@adfarrow.com if you want to be part of the line-up!
