Hogs will stop in Kingsville this year

The Hogs for Hospice Tour the Tip ride will make a stop in Kingsville this year, as Kingsville Council approved the event at Monday’s council meeting.

Prior to the COVID pandemic, the ride had made a pit stop in Wheatley, but due to the explosion last August, downtown Wheatley is not expected to be fully open when July 30 rolls around.

Kingsville Councillor Kimberly DeYong was thrilled that the ride will stop in Kingsville.

“I’m honoured to see our town support this valuable service,” she said. “And it will be great to see the economic benefit to our businesses and community groups that have been hit hard these past two years.”

The ride takes place on Saturday, July 30 with a vast collection of motorcyclists touring Point Pelee, out to Colchester and eventually back to Seacliff Park in Leamington. The Kingsville stop will allow bikers to take a break from the hot sun and enjoy all of the food, drink and entertainment that Kingsville has to offer.
