Riders Needed For Santa Parade!
It isn’t REALLY a parade, but more of a motorcycle escort for Santa Claus at NorthStar (see side bar). 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! So far we’ve heard from half a dozen riders, but the more the merrier, ho, ho, ho!

Breakfast, Santa & Remembering The Fallen …
If you are thinking about joining in the Santa Parade (see item above), maximize your saddle time on Saturday, December 15, while doing some additional good. Meet at 10:30 a.m. at the Cracker Barrel Restaurant at I-71 & Rt. 36/37 (west side of I-71, across the highway from the A.D. Farrow Co. Shop at NorthStar). After breakfast, head to NorthStar for the Santa Parade. Following the parade and hanging out with Santa for a while, head down to Kingswood Cemetery on Rt. 23 (south of Polaris Parkway, right across the road from Highbanks Metro Park). Starting at 2 p.m., volunteers are needed to lay wreathes on the graves of U.S. military veterans. If you’re interested in all or some parts of this, please write darrisblackford@adfarrow.com

Rest In Peace, Evel …
Last Friday, Nov. 30, one of the most famous Harley-Davidson riders of all time died. Evel Knievel jumped buses, cars, even the fountain at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas on a Harley. He wasn’t always successful, and had more than 400 broken bones in his lifetime to prove it. Yet he came back, again and again, a testament to his love of the fans, his country and his sport. Many people don’t know that one of Evel’s biggest jumps occurred at King’s Island amusement park back on October 25, 1975 – maybe you were there? Thanks for the show, Evel - you will be missed.
