Donations were also raised through sales of 50/50 tickets. $625 Raised on Saturday and $891 Raised on Sunday. And the Ladies of Harley Bake Sale raised over $400 during the event. too. A gaming table, donated by Down Home Harley-Davidson, was auctioned off and raised $175. The fine folks from Pro Connection Cycles donated profits from t-shirt sales and brought in $125. Many participants actual rode their motorcycles to get to the show due to the warmer weather. Each bike had a milk jug tied to the front wheel so spectators could make contributions by putting money in the jug of their favorite bike. As in years past, everyone was allowed to raise contributions prior to the event. Trophies were also awarded to those who raised the most in each class and to those who raised the 2nd and 3rd highest amounts. A panel of judges making it two shows in one also judged all the bikes separately. The Full Dresser Class raised nearly $4,300, the most money as a class.
