3rd Annual OVAR'Ride Motorcycle Ride/Poker Run:
We may have had a rainy day for a motorcycle ride, but our amazing participants showed us their adventurous spirits by showing up anyway! We were thrilled to have nearly 70 bikers and passengers participate. About 50 were able to complete the ride which ended at Mike's Music & Dance Barn in Nashville, IN. We enjoyed delicious burgers, hot dogs and more while tons of prizes were won by all! Thank you to each and every participant, volunteer, sponsor and donor who made this event successful in spite of inclement weather! Looking forward to next year! Check out photos of the event on our
facebook page!
