On Sep 16-18 the the Great Lakes Region annual rally occurred at the Calhoun County Fairgrounds, in Marshall Michigan. This year there were 2,274 attendees at the rally
The weather was perfect for the weekend and the Chapter had a good turnout. Bruce and Don won Top Gun awards, and Bruce & Melissa received awards for Field Events for Sidecar, Trailering, and 1-Up.
One of the top events of the weekend was the Talent Show where our Biker Gals presented "Leader of the Pack" with able assistance assistance from Russ (Sr. CD) who crashed his scooter. The scooter was saved, but unfortunately, the "Leader" (Russ) was untreatable.

That early morning sun feels so-o-o-o good! Heck, who wants to leave?
Ya... I know. Breakfast is over, but do we have to pack yet?
