Hi friends,

I wanted to share some of photos we took over the weekend during the 5 State Run. We had a fantastic time, on Saturday, performing our duties as a punch-stop for the motorcycle run.

Thank you to everyone who donated cookies, and other delightful treats, to help us feed all of the participants this year! Also, a huge thank you to our local volunteers for assisting during the event. Without all of the generous support we wouldn’t have had such a great success, thank you all!

It is a lot of preparation to participate in the 5 State Run, but it is also tremendously rewarding. It is fascinating to hear stories and anecdotes from people across the country, and interesting to see the wide variety of states that riders have come from. This year we catalogued 17 states who turned up to ride the 300-mile trip for charity. Interestingly, there were motorcyclists from basically each corner of the US- California, Washington, New York and Florida. How fun!

We also logged over 700 riders who passed through our doors to get their cards punched, grab a snack/drink and check out some of our newest displays. Thank you, to all of the bikers, for your kind words and compliments about the museum. You are welcome back any time!

We look forward to see what next year will bring, we hope you have a wonderful day!
