26th Annual Burlington H.O.G. Chapter All Harley Bike Show
By: Scott Wicker lightly warmer temperatures and no ice and snow
brought out one of the best turn outs in history for the 26th Annual Burlington H.O.G. Chapter Alamance/Caswell Hospice Bike Show. The Show, as usual, was held inside the Holly Hill Mall in Burlington on Saturday, February 22nd and Sunday, February 23rd. 66 entries represented 33 classes and categories to raise over $23,105.62 for Hospice of Alamance and Caswell Counties. This year’s total was one of the the best ever in the show’s his-
tory. Many participants actually rode their motorcycles to get to the show due to the slightly warmer weather. Throughout the show’s history, it has raised nearly $400,000.00 in contributions. Donations were also raised through sales of 50/50 tickets, with some of the winnings donated back, and the Ladies of Harley bake sale. Each bike had a milk jug tied to the front wheel so spectators could make contributions by putting money in the jug of their favorite bike. As in years past, everyone was allowed to raise contributions prior to the event. Trophies were awarded to those who raised the most in each class and also to those who raised the 2nd and 3rd highest amounts. All the bikes were also judged separately by a panel of judges making it two shows in one. The Softail Class had 13 entries and the Trike Class had an impressive 11 entries. The CVO Class had the Most Donations as a Class with $11,305.63- very impressive for this highly competitive class. As in years past, the support was overwhelming.
