What is the "Day of the HOG"?
Quite early in the formation of the Elkhorn
Valley H.O.G. Chapter, we decided that we wanted to do
two things right away. First we wanted to get involved with the Muscular Dystrophy
Association
and establish our desire to support this charity in a big way. Secondly, we
wanted to define for our chapter an annual event that every chapter member would
want to participate in. So, our event had to be both worthwhile and fun. We
expressed our intentions to our sponsoring dealer, Dillon
Brothers Harley-Davidson, and found that we shared common goals. They had began their
1st Annual July Heat. poker run in 2003 and wanted to establish an annual
charity event for the Omaha area, similar to both Sioux City's Awesome Harley
Nights and Sioux Falls Hot Harley Nights.
A phone call to our local MDA
office and a committee meeting later, the Day of the HOG was born. Our 1st
annual Day of the HOG was a resounding success with around 1400 in attendance.
In 2005, the 2nd Annual event held in Waterloo, NE. attracted almost 2000
participants of which over 900 were bikers and raised $42,000 for MDA. With the
succes of year two a tradition was born and planning is well under way for the
5th Annual Event!! So if you’re looking for the best poker-run of the year and
an exceptional party to follow, you DON’T want to miss the 5th Annual Day of the
HOG event!
So, what is the Day of the HOG and July Heat? Its the Elkhorn
Valley H.O.G. Chapter, Dillon Brothers Harley-Davidson dealership and MDA coming together to fight a terrible disease called
Muscular Dystrophy. By putting together this event we are bringing people in our
community together to combat this disease while having a tremendous amount fun
doing it. We're anticipating another overwhelming success and would like to have
you there to share it with us. |
