Re: 5th Annual Midwest Bicycle Fest (Raffle Bike)

Today I assembled the bike we'll be raffling off for $1 a chance. I'm having a hard time leaving it as is though.
The first year we had no bike. 2nd year was a new bike. 3rd and 4th year were custom bikes.

Re: 5th Annual Midwest Bicycle Fest

All the food sounds great.
I'm as ready as I'll ever be I suppose.
In addiction to the 2 trophies we always give out there will be a 3rd new one this year and it's cool! Find out tomorrow.
Also I don't think I mentioned we have a bunch of Kickstand magazines to give out.

My room's been a mess getting everything gathered up and put together. The garage also.

Re: 5th Annual Midwest Bicycle Fest

Randy, Great show yesterday, My wife 's first time at midwest bike fest and she said she had a good time looking at all of the bikes and talking to everyone.

There is an ad on the Vinage Bicycle Ads here on RatRod that looks like the bike that everyone was tring to guess. It's a Western Auto's 1937 Motto bike. I found it about halfway down on the first page.

Hope to see the Coasters at the Paddlers swap meet next weekend, we'll have as much fun as we did in Haysville.
Let someone here know if you are coming up the night before and we can get in a pub ride in like we have had in the past.
