| Tazz sent a little more information on how she started collecting the tabs. She and her friend Duana the owner of Buddie's Bar in Woodward , Oklahoma started this about 3 years ago and it has just continued to grow. With the state of affairs in the world it's not often you find people that give so much back to people and never ask anything in return. Our hats are off to you Ladies. Let's help them make their next load even bigger then they hope it will be. The Crew At WTR |

THE 1st ANNUAL RIDERS FORD BIKE RALLY /SWAP MEET..
LEGEND HAS IT THAT THE RIDERS FORD TRAIL CROSSED THE
VERDIGRIS RIVER AT THE POINT OF THE RALLY GROUNDS..ITS
SAID THAT THE WAGON TRAINS COULD NOT CROSS THE
RIVER DUE TO THE BIG ROCK OR BED ROCK AT THIS POINT.
THEY WOULD HAVE TO GO AROUND .BUT THE COWBOYS ON
HORSEBACK CUT A TRAIL AND THIS IS WHERE THEY
CROSSED,,IT IS VERY DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHER AREAS AT
THE RIVER..VERY STEEP CLIFFS AND EMBANKMENTS.
I CAN SEE WHY THEY WOULD CROSS AT THIS POINT..iT IS A
VERY BEAUTIFUL AREA ..THE RALLY WAS GOOD ..NICE
CAMPING .NICE LAYOUT ,VERY GOOD BANDS AND THE RIDERS
FORD BAND CAME TO TOP THE SHOWS OFF.
TROY THE FOUNDER AND OWNER OF THE LAND PUT THE
EVENT ON .BIGFOOT WAS HIS RIGHT HAND MAN AND WAS
VERY INSTRUMENTAL IN THE GIG..
LET ME NOTE THAT BIGFOOT WAS A MED - EVA GUNNER IN NAM
.GOD BLESS YOU BIGFOOT ..THERE WAS A LOT OF PEOPLE
INVOLVED TO MAKE IT HAPPEN . VENDORS CAME FROM ALL
AROUND .Q BALL HEADED UP SECURITY ..
C.M.A WAS GREAT AS USUAL. MET SOME GREAT PEOPLE .. HAD
FUN .. THE PROCEEDS WENT TO A CHARITY .AND COLLECTED
MORE TABS FOR THAT CAUSE..I FEEL IT WAS A SUCCESS AND
SHOULD BE MORE TO COME ..THANKS TROY AND BIGFOOT
FOR INVITING US ..WE WILL BE GLAD TO ATTEND MANY MORE ....

| Date: Wednesday, July 14, 2010, 5:03 PM To All Members, Please read the information below on the upcoming Hawg Lakes Rally... Respectfully, Dawn Canaday We have a Call To Action authorized by the Oklahoma Commander for the Defenders Program. Please pass the word to all members and friends. >>>>>> Hawg Lakes Rally on July 29th will not allow you to wear your club colors on their property. Their ad in Thunder Roads magazine says NO Colors. No H.O.G, Bandido, Downed Biker , BACA, ABATE, etc. So we the motorcycling community need to not go. They are stomping on our rights of freedom of speech. Mark "Bus" Buskirk Oklahoma Commander U.S. Defender us.defenders_ oklahoma@ yahoo.com >>>>> "2Rs" (ABATE of Oklahoma State Coordinator) personally talked on the phone with Hawg Lakes and the guy in charge said he was absolutely unwilling to change his policy. ABATE, HOG, BACA, and not any Club, no colors of any kind will be allowed. Please take your money and support to BIKER FRIENDLY rallies and events, not 2010 Hawg Lakes. Pass the Word. Ride Safe and Ride FREE! Brook "Xman" Bullock State Secretary ABATE of Oklahoma, Inc Oklahoma Defender Rep |
