Volunteers Needed for Northwoods Harley-Davidson MDA Fall Ride!!!
NORTHWOODS HARLEY-DAVIDSON MDA FALL RIDE – September 18th and 19th, 2020 per notification from Bill Lemke, “We received a call from the Northwoods Harley-Davidson dealership in Arbor Vitae asking if we would serve beer and soda the weekend of Sept 19th,2020. Actual work dates would be Friday Sept 18th, 2020 and Saturday Sept 19th, 2020. Our set up would be on a very small scale – maybe 2 bar sections, a rolling cooler or 2, and maybe a tent. Primarily selling 3 kinds of beer, soda, and possibly some chips or ?? Times would be from 9:00 to 5:00 both days plus a little clean up and tear down. We would need 4 or 5 people each day.” Bill reiterated that this was their second request for assistance as we had initially turned down our participation in the event due to lack of commitment from club members. Harley has been good to us over the years and could really use our help on this one. With the cancellation of all other fund raising events this summer, this could be our only chance to bolster the Club operating funds as we enter a new season. Please consider volunteering some time for this event. Please notify Bill Lemke at 715-432-0998 or moc.reitnorfnull@ekmelb or Jon Cooksey 715-614-9003 or moc.liamgnull@pvresiurc as soon as possible so that they can compile a schedule and finalize arrangements. WE NEED YOUR HELP!!
If you have not been able to be active in past years, please consider it this year. We could use your help and would love to see new faces.
Good-Bye Big Blue
Big Blue was sold to a commercial company in Alaska. This company is near Bethal, Alaska which is about 400 miles west of Anchorage. This company provides alternate energy sources to small Eskimo villages that are totally dependent on diesel fuel & generators. They are putting up 100 kw wind generators on 150’ towers. That’s half the capacity and size we have in Wisconsin. The Soucy track system will allow them to walk on the tundra when not completely frozen extending their construction season. The following pictures are big blue being loaded yesterday for shipment to Alaska, Trucked to Seattle ($5500), then by barge to Bethel ($12k-15k)! All freight paid by the purchasing company. Pictures will show the cab glass wrapped for protection during shipping. Replacement glass extremely difficult to come by in Alaska.
A Big Thank You to Bill Farmer & Bob Brown for coordinating all of this!
