ABATE of WI Summer Hummer State Rally Committee
By Deb Deck
Why don't
you consider going to the ABATE of Wisconsin Summer Hummer State Rally!
What aids us
in making a decision which event to attend, maybe it's Bike week Daytona,
Sturgis, maybe some of us like to attend other ABATE State Functions, ABATE of
Iowa Freedom Rally, ABATE of Minnesota state rally, or Illinois, Michigan or
Indiana. Which runs do we want to pencil in, the Cannon run, the Flood run, the
Thunder run, maybe it's the MDA Run or many of the other local events in your
area; with so many options how do we juggle our precious vacation time and make
weekend plans? Do we make this decision based on where we've been in the
past? Word of mouth? Maybe we peruse our biker rags?
Did you hear
last year's Summer Hummer State Rally had 2 visiting journalists? Richee with
Saddle Tramp magazine wrote "I was completely impressed with
the 80 acre complex and its facilities. I had a
good time checking everything out at the 2009 ABATE Summer Hummer State Rally... I will say that next
year, I will pencil it into my schedule to be able to attend the whole event
throughout the entire event, as you should too." August 2009 Issue 4. Also
Natanic, a photographer with Paisano Publications (Easyrider, Biker, V-Twin
magazines etc), visited last year's Summer Hummer, you can look for a 3 page
article by 'Natanic' in the April 2010 edition of 'Biker Magazine'.
If it's the
distance that predetermines your weekend plans, ABATE Acres is centrally located
In Greenwood, WI just outside of Thorp, WI or Greenwood, WI. From the more
southeastern or southwestern corners of WI it's an easy 4-5 hour ride. (And
honestly who of us can say that we don't put on the miles on any given
weekend).
Or is it the
Money? In comparison to other ABATE State Rallies this rally is very reasonably
priced, just $25 advance, $30 at the gate for the weekend (member price)
including camping, in comparison to ABATE of MN State Rally $30 Advanced, $40
at the gate and a $35 fee for parking Auto's and RV's on the site, And the
Freedom Rally in Iowa is $35 in advance or $40 at the gate. Did you know that
100% of proceeds go to fighting for Bikers Rights?
If its music
you're interested in, we have the d-Railers to headline Thursday night.
Reverend Raven & the Chain Smoking Altar Boys will be headlining Friday
night. And the headliner for Saturday night, Lukyn Skywyrd, the top southern rock
cover band in the state who performed at the 2009 Summer Hummer State Rally, will
be back for another year. There's the local Bike Run and raffles, the State
Wide Poker Run. Don't want to sit around the camp during the day? There's a self
guided tour in beautiful Southern Clark Co to the Highground Veterans Memorial
to pay tribute to all Veterans in Neillsville.
We have
Vendors from all over the country, Food, On-site Bar and Ice sales and new
this year we will have and ATM on the grounds. If you like to stay on the
grounds there are activities such as Bike Games and Bar Stool Races, Bobbing for
Beer, the anatomy contest, and new this year, build a bikini contest (no
material or leather allowed). With so many activities, runs and entertainment -
why don't you consider going to the ABATE of WI Summer Hummer State Rally? This
is a Biker class event!
Did
you know that 100% of the staff are volunteers? But we are still looking
for staff to help in many areas at the event, if you would like to volunteer at
the Bar contact Ric
& Daisy Mellon in advance of the event, or maybe you'd like to help out at the front
gate, contact Ron & Nona Zepplin, if you would like to assist in Security
contact Evan Hanson, or with the Statewide Poker Run Nancy Neitzel Santee, or the Local Run Tom Babbitt (who really needed
some extra hands last year.) Maybe you would like to aid the set up/running of the
Biker Games contact Andy Matthiassen. Like to sell retail,
contact Betty Roberge for selling products. Please
help out wherever you can.
Now will you consider attending ABATE of Wisconsin Summer
Hummer State Rally? You really don't know what you've been missing!
