Members of the local Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association (CVMA) took to the road Saturday, July 23 for their annual Ghost Ride. Participants enjoyed sunny skies, a ride to Minerva, and helped raise about $4,000 to assist the Clinton, Franklin and Essex Disabled American Vets (DAV) and the Veteran’s Assistance Fund. Pictured here, chapter commander of CVMA New York 19-3 John Conley (road name: “Quiet 1”) and his wife, Linda (road name: “Doozy”) depart Ticonderoga on his jet-black 2009 Harley Davidson Police Road King. In all, 188 motorcycles took part in the event.
Tourism officials hope to cash in on gay marriage.
