Business Participation Wanted For Bikers

Local communities are revving their engines for the Rally in the St. Croix Valley.

A public meeting was held last night at the Calais Motor Inn to organize the ground work behind the scenes of the event planned for this summer.

Canadian Chair Bob Hamel says the major thing they need now is for the business community to step up.

Hamel says this is an opportunity for businesses within the community to bring in an influx of financial support for themselves, by finding a special niche to provide for the folks coming into town during the Rally.

He adds they are also looking for any non-profit groups who would like to participate.

The entire event will be non-profit, with all proceeds going to Veterans Organizations, and they are allowing non-profit groups to "piggy-back" by holding fundraisers and events of their own.

If you would like to participate, contact Chair Bob Hamel at 467-7101, or on Facebook at Rally in the St. Croix Valley.
