And remember - No Pets Allowed…
Bring Your Own Everything Swap Meet takes place on Saturday if you’re looking for that “special” part you can’t find anywhere else. The cost to set up is a one-day pass or $30 which entitles you to stay all day and includes the musical entertainment happening on Saturday.
Also on Saturday is the Ride In Bike Show. You need a day pass to enter the grounds which entitles you to stay for the entire day and enjoy all festivities that go with it.
And don’t forget about the Pin-up Girl Photo Shoot and Tattoo Contest also taking place on Saturday.
What’s left? The department leads below could use some help, so be sure to sign up in advance or seek them out at the Hummer if you are willing to work a shift. Any member that completes (2) four-hour shifts will earn themselves $15 worth of ABATE Hummer Bucks. Hummer Bucks can be applied to ABATE products purchases or can be cashed in at the Bar Chip table during the event for Bar Chips.
