Motorcycle Swap Meet and Trade Show

Emily Mailhot Reporter – Vegreville News Advertiser

On Saturday, May 4, the second annual Two Hills Motorcycle Trade Show and Swap Meet fought against the chilly weather to draw in guests and vendors from the riding community.

The organizer of the event, as well as the Two Hills Run to the Hills Rally, Bob Ross, said that a few last-minute cancellations hadn’t been able to squash the spirit of the day.

“I had a few of our vendors from places around the prov-

ince phone in to let me know they weren’t coming because of snow and sleet on the roads, which we definitely understand,” said Ross, “Unfortunately we also have some pretty risky weather for bikers even where it isn’t snowing, so it’s been slow today. But we’re happy that everyone here could make it.”

Showcased for the first time this year were memorial benches for the Two Hills Memorial Park, which can be commissioned with the name of a beloved fallen rider. The hope for this project, according to Ross, is to have enough memorial benches to circle the park.

Some of those who presented at the trade show included vendors with old or spare motorcycle parts for sale, organizers of other swap meets, the Little Red Ice-cream Wagon from Vegreville, Penny and Bear motorcycle wear, and the Run to the Hills Memorial Rally.
