Upcoming events I would like to see - 2009

I rode to the Anderson Casino this weekend among other things (close to 600 miles total) ..... and was very impressed by it. It is a large casino like those in Vegas, Tunica, Atlantic City. The only downfall is that the table games are limited and are e-tables with digital/video cards and some mixed up Max Headroom looking video dealers - very intriquing to say the least. Anyhooo, the ride from Seelyville is almost exactly 2 hours, I-70 to 465 on the EAST side of Indianapolis, North 465 to I-69, I-69 to exit 26 (Anderson Horse Track). Plenty of bike parking with concrete kickstand pads at the front door of the casino. A very easy day trip leave town at 10a, return to town at 6pm.

Also, I would be interested in getting the group together for a trip to Pt Byron, IL. Pt Byron is where my parent s live and is located on the Mississippi River. There are casinos here too. August 2009 they will have the 23rd annual TUGFEST. TugFest is a sight to behold, teams of 20 square off on the Illinois and Iowa side of the river and literally have a tug of war across the river. It is the only time all navigatable traffice comes to a stop on the Mighty Mississip! The rope alone weighs 900ls dry and 1200lbs wet toward the end of the event.. My Pop's house has plenty of restrooms, bedrooms, couches, camping space, inground swimming pool and planty of drinks in the lower level party fridge. He would welcome having us ride over for the tug. This would require a Friday ride over leave at 2pm arrive at 6pm IL time (fireworks on the river at 9p) and Sunday ride back - Saturday is the FEST. A great time lots of fun and great people.

Keep these in mind and we'll talk later. B-Dog Do you find this valuable?

As an Officer of BK Indiana III, we have discussed a trip to the Superman Celebration. Would your group be interested in a "joint" trip? If interested contact me at kcwhisman@aol.com. Do you find this valuable?

You might try again, that is my email address. But what we were considering was going down on 6/12 and come back on 6/14. That is during their annual superman celebration
http://www.supermancelebration.net/. If we can work it out we could hook up in Evansville for lunch and then proceed on. Ken Whisman

THE SECRET IS OUT! Now is the time to plan for a fun filled weekend. June 12, 2009 we will depart for Metropolis, IL for their annual Superman Celebration. http://www.supermancelebration.net/. Celebrities’ such as Noel Neill (the original Lois Lane), Allison Mack, & Ned Beatty regularly attend this event. Saturday June 13, will be a free day to rub elbows with super heroes. If that’s not enough, you could attend the Kentucky State HOG Rally that will be going on in Paducah, KY (right across the river) or you can spend your time at Harrah’s where you can hone your gambling skills. We will then return to the Indy area on June 14. Please let me know if you’re interested so I can try to block some rooms. This is an open event and I hope to have a nice sized group…capes optional. Ken Whisman- kcwhisman@aol.com. This is an open ride that will have participants from Indianapolis HOG Chapter 1 and Blue Knight III Do you find this valuable?
