attempts,

Joker Powersports was finally able to have their 2nd annual anniversary party on June 27th. It was a pretty awesome day to get out and cut loose after being under quarantine for a few months. I think everyone was just happy to be getting out and enjoying a little time and fun with friends they haven’t see in a while.

Seems we were all cooped up for the winter and just as soon as we were getting some good riding weather, COVID 19 put the brakes on everything. Everybody’s events were canceled for a while, but thank God, we were able to have a day of great weather for the event. The sun was out, a nice breeze was blowing, and there was no rain. Last I heard, there were over 500 bikes there with around 800 people during the peak of the party. Everyone was in a great mood, no attitude, just lots of fun.

My buddy, Moonshiner Red Dog, was set up next to us selling tee shirts along with other moonshiner memorabilia. He

said he had a great day and was looking forward to the next party. There were other vendors on hand as well selling their goods. I think everybody did pretty well.

Guardians of the children MC provided a mock jail house cage and if anyone was nominated to be locked up, their friends had to bail them out all for charity of course

Eight hundred dollars was also raised to help with funeral expenses for Tim (Smitty) Smith who had just recently passed away after having a heart attack.

In addition to $1000 that was raised on July 5th , a total of $1800 was donated.

There was an awesome band playing,( Ziggy Pockets ).They played a lot of good old southern rock n roll and rhythm and blues. They were awesome.

Over the last several months people came into the shop and registered to win a 2003 anniversary model Harley-Davidson Road King that was given away at the end of the day. A lady named Karolyn Hans won it. Needless to say, she was pretty excited. Originally, another guy’s name was drawn, but he wasn’t there which the rules clearly stated you must be present to win. I’m sure he’s kicking himself now, but it is what it is. Sometimes life sucks;)

John and Kerri wanted to thank all their sponsors for helping them put on this year’s event: First Franklin Financial, Iron Horse Motorcycle Lawyers, Dirty Air Ride, ICC Customs and Amsoil.

I don’t know about the rest of y’all but I’m ready for the next one;)
