Afterthoughts

Our annual ride to the Utica Neighborhood Center went pretty well. We caught a little bit of rain on the way to Harley-Davidson® of Utica, but the ride from there to the Neighborhood Center was dry. Erie Canal HOG® donated Toys, School Supplies, and $400 in cash as a result of the raffle that was held. The children were given a chance to sit on any bike they wanted to and honk the horns (I forgot my ear plugs!). At the end of this Honkin' Good Time, three children drew tickets from the raffle and the winners were...

  • 1st Prize - Chris Ford - The Harley T-Shirt Quilt & Shams

  • 2nd Prize - Melissa Morris - A set of Harley T-Shirt Shams

  • 3rd Prize - Roy Johnson - 2 NY Win-4-Life Lottery Tickets


Besides the Neighborhood Center, the remainder of the money from the raffle was donated to the CNY Veteran's Outreach Center, Utica Rescue Mission, and Stevens Swan Humane Society.
