We Went HOG WILD...again!!

We just wrapped up our 8th annual HOG WILD party last Saturday and man was it a success! After all this rain and gloomy weather, out popped an 80 degree sunny day! It was absolutely perfect. We had our 4th annual Charity BBQ contest that raised over $3,300 for 5 local charities. A HUGE thank you goes out to HOG Heaven in New Philadelphia for donating the pulled pork and making sure they were here all day to replenish it. And congratulations to Big Brothers Big Sisters who were our big winners this year!

Our parking lot was PACKED with vendors and people. Over 1,300 people graced us with their presence in the 7 hours we were open and everyone had an amazing time. Here you can see the New Philadelphia High School Softball Team that was providing pop/water and chips to all our customers:
And here you'll see Jess from MyMuseum working her magic. She did TEN tattoos on Saturday. That's impressive for 8 hours. Talk about booking wall to wall! If you want more information on how to contact Jess or MyMuseum, visit http://www.mymuseumtattoos.com/.

As always, we had an enormous sidewalk sale with up to 75% off end of season merchandise. Let me tell you...that brings people in. We opened at 9am and I swear we had a line at 9:02. Ok, maybe not THAT quickly, but pretty darn close.

We also had a pre-owned bike auction that went great! We sold everything from bikes to trailers to horse saddles (yes you read that right). If you'll recall, if we don't have to feed it, we'll take anything on trade. So we do aquire some odd items here and there.

Ride Safe!
