So let's all enjoy it! I have decided I need to blog more on Saturdays. We are not open on Sundays, so Saturdays are our "peak weekend day" so to speak. It's exciting. People are everywhere and they're all here because they love the same thing. The best part? We always have food! If you haven't ever been to our dealership on a Saturday...you need to. Granted, if you've never been here, you can come on any day of the week. We'll welcome you even if it isn't the weekend :)
Today is the perfect example of the Saturday spirit. The weather has picked up in the last week. The snow has finally melted, after about 3 snowstorms that would rival anything Alaska has ever seen (ok, I'm exaggerating, but appreciate the dramatic effect). So we finally saw 60 degrees for the first time in 2010, had over 1,000 people in the dealership this week...and today will not disappoint. We've already had over 300 people through our doors and we've still got another 2 hours left. Mind you, it's spitting down rain and has been all day. And yet, everyone is still in a great mood. These people want to ride so bad they can taste it.
Heard enough? Well let's just throw in that we're giving away a $150 gift card every Saturday in March and a $500 gift card in April! Have I intrigued you yet? Good. Come visit.

National Ladies Garage Party Month!
For those of you who don't already know, March has been declared the official Ladies Garage Party Month by Harley-Davidson. Basically, this means you women are in for a great party! I'm in the process of putting together the agenda for our garage party that will be on Wednesday, March 24th. If you haven't already RSVP'd, you'll want to do it soon because we've already got over 40 women attending!
See ya soon! Nicki :)
This garage party is going tobe a little bit different in that we're offering an "advanced path" for those ladies who have been to one of our garage parties before. I think this will allow for more interesting stations, especially if you have seen the others already! Here is what you need to know about a garage party: great food, great gals, great info, and great prizes. It's totally free to attend and we encourage you to bring your friends. Especially the ones who have never been exposed to the sport of motorcycling! We love newbies :) And I will leave you with a few photos of ladies enjoying our past garage parties...just to give you an idea of what you're in for.
See ya soon! Nicki :)

SUN!
THE SUN WAS SHINING...all...day...long! Nothing more needs to be said.
P.S. Convertible, PT Cruiser, and Jeep drivers - 36 degrees does not constitute driving with the top down. We are all excited that the sun, but not THAT excited. If you want the wind in your face that bad - get on a bike!!

Maybe I'm biased. Maybe I have been swayed. But whatever the reason, I feel compelled to gush about our HOG chapter for a few moments. I would argue that Tuscarawas County, OH has one of the best, most loyal, and active HOG chapters in the country. I couldn't ask for a more reliable and passionate group of people.
Here are a few examples of what makes them so unbelievable. We host a monthly HOG Chapter meeting at the dealership. We provide the food, and they provide the excitement. Let me just tell you, I cannot remember the last time I went to one of those meetings and left without a smile on my face. It's just awesome to see such a large group of people so enthusiastic about the sport we represent. It's what Harley is all about. And I also can't remember the last time we had less than 100-120 people at a meeting. Keep in mind these people are traveling up to 70 miles to get here...ONE WAY! They're taking time out of their busy schedules just to spend a few hours with a group of people who share a common interest. It's awesome to see!
Another reason why I love our HOG chapter so much is a bit of a selfish one. You see, I am in charge of the planning and implementation of all dealership events. Thus, the Marketing Manager title. Well, while these events are always fun and exciting for the people participating in them, I could never pull them off without the help of volunteers. And I could never find those volunteers if we didn't have such an amazing HOG chapter. Allow me to illustrate. Last weekend, we hosted an in-store poker run. On Wednesday, I found myself a few people short on volunteers. I needed about 10 to pull off the poker run without a hitch. I sent an email out to our HOG members expecting that maybe a few of them would respond and I would have the amount of volunteers I needed. I sent the email out around 10am. By 3pm, I had received over 30 people offering to help! That's three zero people! It was overwhelming both because I was so appreciative and so taken aback by their willingess to give up a Saturday afternoon to help me.
I could go on for hours about how lucky we are but I will end with this. If you have a Harley, and you live in Tuscarawas County, this is a group you definitely want to be involved in. They have rides at least once or twice a week every week in the Summer, and they're just a great group of people from all walks of life. I feel blessed to be a part of it and I hope everyone else feels the same. Ok, I'm done gushing now. :)

SNOWPOCALYPSE 2010!
So, apparently mother nature is not a biker. She decided to spew about a foot and a half of snow onto our beautiful roads. She thought it would be funny to cover any sign of a parking lot within a hundred mile radius. She spit in the faces of millions of bikers who want to ride like rightnow! Well, if nothing else, her creation is very pretty and we know it won't be around forever. So for now, let us marvel in the beauty that is mother nature shall we? Welcome to Ohio...
Ready to Roll in 2010!
Well folks, 2009 came and went and we have officially entered the world of 2010. I hope you all enjoyed your holidays as much as we did here at Adventure. And of course, with the new year comes new excitement! We have plunged into the middle of February already and man are we excited about the year that is to come.
We already had a great January with an EXTREME GIVEAWAY promotion. Every Saturday in January, we gave away a different item. First a leather jacket, then boots, a helmet, and sunglasses. Each Saturday you came in, you got an extra entry that went into our extreme giveaway drawing, where one person would win all four prizes! That drawing was held on January 30th at 3pm. Since you had to be here to win, the dealership was packed with hundreds of people awaiting the lucky name. Michael Wanosik was the lucky winner. He said he hadn't been to our dealership before but came with a friend. This just goes to show how one trip to Adventure can have you walking away with over $1,000 in merchandise! :)
Needless to say, we have an even more exciting February planned with a Super Bowl guessing game (to win a 2010 Super Glide Custom!) and 3 different poker runs. And March will be full of giveaways. I hope you find the time to swing by the dealership because there's always something going on at Adventure!
