And joining me on the phone to talk about it are event organizer Rick Mittica and Punxitawney Mayor Bill Clement.
00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:32.399
Thanks for being with us.
00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:34.240
Gonna make a lot of noise in the borough?
00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:35.840
Yeah, we really hope so.
00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:38.000
And the weather's gonna have a big factor in it.
00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:41.840
We get a nice day, we can get the good participation.
00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:44.719
You couldn't have picked a better place to uh have this event.
00:00:44.799 --> 00:00:47.600
I mean, Barkley Square is one of my favorite parks.
00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:49.439
Yep, yep, it's a nice place.
00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:56.000
For someone hearing about thunder in the borough for the first time, you know, we get a lot of campers up here too, and uh and a lot of riders.
00:00:56.079 --> 00:00:57.119
What's the event all about?
00:00:57.359 --> 00:01:02.320
It's basically a gathering of you know motorcycle enthusiasts, and those it's a charitable ride.
00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:06.239
We're working towards a Gulf War memorial for Barkley Park.
00:01:06.319 --> 00:01:09.359
Then if there's any money left over, it'll go to local charities.
00:01:09.599 --> 00:01:10.719
It sounds like a great time.
00:01:10.879 --> 00:01:12.799
How long of a ride do you think this is gonna be?
00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:15.920
Our route's gonna start in Punsey at Barkley Square.
00:01:16.079 --> 00:01:20.319
Then from there, we're gonna go down Route 536 to Woodland Tavern.
00:01:20.480 --> 00:01:24.560
Then from there, after that stop, we are going to go to the Bear Claw.
00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:28.239
From the Bear Claw, then we will be going to Crazy Horse.
00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:34.879
And then from the Crazy Horse, we'll go back to the borough and we're gonna park the bikes and walk across over to the borough.
00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:38.079
And then from that, well, we're gonna have a bike show.
00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:43.519
We're gonna have four different bands, lots of food, and just entertainment for the whole family.
00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:46.719
Yeah, and the music, the bands, it sounds amazing.
00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:52.799
You've got uh Alex Shoemaker there, almost mulberry, and then eight years later, it's gonna rock.
00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:56.319
Pretty much plus, I see you're gonna have food available too, right?
00:01:56.400 --> 00:01:59.359
Chuck Wagon's gonna be there in uh Villela's sausage.
00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:08.240
And we got lots of processing during doing barbecue and a couple other smaller vendors that should be supposed to come, sounds like a festival.
00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:11.680
Yeah, the Alkron Fire Department, I think's gonna set up their food trailer.
00:02:12.159 --> 00:02:14.479
Wow, this is even bigger than I thought it was gonna be then.
00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:15.680
This sounds like a festival.
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:17.599
How long do you think this party will last?
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:20.719
Ten o'clock at night when eight years later we'll be done playing.
00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:22.400
But it's gonna be in the morning.
00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:25.199
Registration's gonna start at 8 a.m.
00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:27.520
Mm-hmm and stands up at 10.
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:28.719
We just show up.
00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:32.000
There's no uh online registration or anything like that.
00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:35.919
Well, the registration form is on our uh Facebook page.
00:02:36.159 --> 00:02:36.560
Oh, okay.
00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:40.560
Uh we'll have them in the morning, they're available with the registration too.
00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:42.319
Okay, that will save some time then.
00:02:42.639 --> 00:02:45.120
$20 a bike,$5 a rider.
00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:48.080
And uh street legal vehicles are welcome.
00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:51.280
Even if you miss the ride, you can still come out to the park for the party.
00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:51.759
I like that.
00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:55.120
That goes on until 10 o'clock at night with live music and fun.
00:02:55.199 --> 00:02:58.080
So fill up your megavan, it'll be probably a hundred dollars.
00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:04.319
When it comes to stuff like this, charity events, it's the biker groups that step up to these kind of things.
00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:06.560
This has been happening for a few years, hasn't it?
00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:08.240
It's been a while since I did one.
00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:10.960
We I started it back, I think, in 99.
00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:12.479
I remember that one.
00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:15.439
We did four, and then we got out of it.
00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:18.639
I think uh one of the big run fire department maybe did one.
00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:22.080
Uh the first one we had 317 bikes there.
00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:22.639
Wow.
00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:25.280
So if we get that much this time, we'd be really happy.
00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:26.240
That'd be fantastic.
00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:27.919
Offer a fantastic cause.
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:29.360
Great, great time too.
00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:34.080

So they're gonna give that away during the event?
00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:08.800
