Northwoods
Summer
Thunder |
The
Northwoods
Summer
Thunder
Motorcycle
Rally
was
held
June
17th
and
18th.
It
was
sponsored
by
the
Minocqua
Area
Chamber
of
Commerce,
Northern
Lights
Harley-Davidson,
The
Lakeland
Tavern
League,
Dean
Distributing,
and
a
host
of
others.
The
events
centered
around
Northern
Lights
Harley-Davidson
and
the
participating
Tavern
League
members
during
the
day,
and
featured
live
bands
playing
in
Torpy
Park
in
the
evenings.
Funds
raised
benefited
the
Lakeland
Area
Special
Olympics.
Northern
Lights
had
their
famous
Garage
Sale
going
both
days,
demo
rides,
vendors,
and
a
special
appearance
by
none
other
than
Willie
G
Davidson,
his
wife
Nancy
and
his
son
Bill
on
Saturday
afternoon.
The
Davidsons
met
the
riders
and
signed
autographs
on
all
kinds
of
Harley-Davidson
products
including
several
motorcycles.
Food
sales
benefiting
the
Lakeland
Sharing
Foundation
were
enjoyed
by
all
during
the
day
at
Northern
Lights.
Riders
had
a
chance
to
choose
from
three
different
Fun
Runs,
travel
some
great
scenic
roads,
sample
the
hospitality
of
the
Tavern
League
members,
and
after
getting
their
books
stamped,
qualified
for
$1,000.00
in
cash
prizes.
Friday
night’s
entertainment
featured
the
Olderbudweiser
Blues
Band
on
a
beautiful
summer
night.
Saturday
night
was
pouring
rain,
but
that
didn’t
dampen
the
crowd’s
enthusiasm
for
The
Spicy
Tie
Band.
Everybody
was
huddled
under
the
tents
moving
to
the
classic
rock
music
and
didn’t
seem
to
care
about
what
Mother
Nature
had
thrown
our
way.
With
$2.00
cans
of
beer
and
great
food
from
the
Kiwanis
Club
and
Special
Olympics
it
was
an
energized
crowd
that
stayed
until
the
end.
Northwoods
Summer
Thunder
will
be
back
in
2012,
June
15
&
16,
the
same
weekend
(Father’s
Day
weekend).
Make
plans
to
attend
this
fun
rally
in
the
best
riding
territory
around.
