Everyone is also welcome to visit one of the many local restaurants for the evening meal. The catered meals are not a requirement just put together for convenience and safety of the attendees. I suspect the local restaurants will be busy due to the rally. Plus Not having to leave the premises to eat and party has its benefits, You can have a few drinks without worrying about Riding or driving. We will have a music system complete with MIC and Amplifier for those that want to entertain feel free. If you have music you would like to bring feel free the system will accommodate any IPod or music player. there will be several community coolers as well as the rooms all have mini fridges.

Thanks again to everyone for the overwhelming response for door prizes and help with the cookout it is very much appreciated. If Anyone additional wants to provide a door prize please feel free to bring them, they will be put to good use.

There are also 2 Rallies in the area the weekend of RAA and a motorcycle museum within walking distance of the Motel. I have provided Links below If you need additional information.
