Just an hour after kickstands-up, its a hearty lunch at Cheap Andy’s, smack dab in the middle of rides also stopping at venues in Colfax, Beldenville and Rock Elm:
— Sometimes during an all-day motorcycle rally across the highways and byways of scenic western Wisconsin, the middle-day portion of the ride can be among the most important.
Like the stop for a hearty lunch at Cheap Andy’s in Hammond during the one this Saturday, July 27.
This event is called the May Memorial Run in honor of “Tyler and Justin,” hosted by Kevin May and Jody Lamson, on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. Kickstands are up and motors running at 11 a.m. sharp and there will be a bike and car show, people’s choice trophy for the best ride and a Rev To Heaven trophy.
The event begins and ends with partying on the patio at Elk Point Resort — consisting of music and outdoor bar, and at the end a stint of camping offered. Then its off to the Cheap Andy’s stop around noon, and over in a scenic way to Clyde’s Corner Bar and Grill in Beldenville and Waverly Full Throttle Saloon in Rock Elm.
For camping reservations, contact Sarah or Nikki at (715) 962-3055 at the Elk Point Resort at N8535 618th Street in Colfax. There is no registration fee for this Memorial Ride as They’re Never Forgotten, a version of which has been held around the country many times, and all vehicles are welcome. The event is held rain or shine.
— The North Hudson Pepper Festival could not be put on and be a success without the support of the community, a prime example being Satuday’s PepperFest for the park celebration at the Village Inn.
There will be all the summer foods you revel in, some of them along the same line as at the fest itself — such as hamburgers and brats, and Italian delicacies, with all the trimmings. There’s also live music, silent auction, raffles and prize give-aways. The event has typically been held in the winter, but this time around its only about three weeks before the shindig itself, which will prompt it to stick at the forefront of people’s minds and enjoy the summer activities this time of year has to offer.
Funds raised go toward the maintenance of the park and sprucing it up, as well as other facets for which the organizers need to cover costs, officials said. The event at The Village runs from 4-9 p.m. The band is Lady Luck, the perfect combo of woman-and-men lineup, heavy of songs like that of Pat Benatar. They will be playing under the four-fold or five-fold bigtop-style tent.
