Events

2009 opens the second half-decade of Day of the Hog. It was agreed that this was an appropriate time to begin moving Day of the Hog toward the next milestone on the horizon - a two-day event. We have prepared some Friday fun, on July 17th, to kick-off this new chapter in Day of the Hog history.

The Day of the Hog Kickoff Timeline July 17th:

10:00am - 3:30pm

Observation Ride
The committee understands that many of our members have business commitments on Friday. However, perhaps if one has a "free" afternoon, or maybe an extended "lunch break," you may want to stop by and enter the first Day of the Hog Observation Ride. Entries are $5 each; 50% of the entry fee goes directly to MDA. The other 50% will be held in the Observation Ride Benefit Fund to be awarded as follows: 25% to 1st place among the Observation Ride entrants, 15% to 2nd place, and 10% to 3rd place. The more entrants, the larger the contribution to MDA, and, more importantly, the larger the benefit fund that you could stake a claim to! Entries on sale at Dillon's H-D Omaha showroom from 10:00am to 3:30pm. Click here to review the Rules.


Kickoff Parade
Departing Dillon Brothers' Harley-Davidson in Omaha at 6:30 pm, we hope to start a brand-new Day of the Hog tradition by parading, as a group, behind our 2009 Raffle Bike. This year's parade will end in Bennington just in time for you to enjoy their "Back To The Future" Street Dance. Join us and let the Omaha metro-area see both what they could win and how much fun they could have.

"Back To The Future" Street Dance
We have hooked on to the theme, "Back To The Future" for our first ever parade, because we really are going back to where Day of the Hog began five years ago - Bennington, NE. Our parade route will terminate on 2nd Avenue between Molley Street and Stark Street, which will be blocked off by our partners in Bennington to welcome EVHOG back to their very first Day of the Hog venue for a "homecoming" party. From 7:00 pm to 11:00 pm you will be able to:

1. Take advantage of food and drink specials at sponsoring businesses in Bennington,
2. Visit the vendors who are planning to join the party in Bennington on Friday evening,
3. Get (or sell) your last few tickets for the 2009 Raffle Road King, which will be clearly visible in the intersection of 2nd and Stark,
4. Enjoy a dance with outdoor DJ music provided by the Music Maniac,
5. Visit the monthly custom-car show (the 3rd Friday of every month) up the street at Cubby's, on the southwest corner of 156th Street and NE 36, or
6. Just catch up with old friends and meet new ones.
