How was your weekend? We had the best weather this weekend in Dallas and especially perfect for riding weather! My CMA chapter was hosting our first “fun run(poker) fundraiser” this past weekend and it was ALL DAY.
There is a chain popping around the metroplex called Quaker Steak & Lube and they were one of our sponsors. We started our ride and registration at one of their locations and then ended the ride at another one of their locations a few miles down the road. Unfortunately when its our deal we have to work it and not go on the planned routes for everyone else. Todd and I were assigned the registration booths for both locations so we would be busy in spurts. We had free donuts and coffee and goodie bags but all those who bought a ticket and wrist band were entered to win tons of prizes and money.
We had a fairly good turnout and we know now what we need to do differently next year. Our event happened the same weekend as the Texas Motor Speedway races and one of the most popular biker bars in Dallas was also having their Spring Hoorah. We still did good though and it was just fun hanging out with my group. Sunshine , Harleys. Chicken wings, and spending all day with Todd is priceless!
Thank you so much for stopping by and supporting my little blog.
Remember to join us tomorrow for Tuesday Tunes.

Oh my gosh, my sister went to school in Erie, PA, and one of the places she always talked about was Quaker Steak & Lube!!! I thought it was just a West PA thing, I'm excited to see it in your pics! What a great day you had! Glad to see you had such a good turnout!
ReplyDeleteI won a poker run once. But I donated all the money back. My ass was so sore by the time we got done.
ReplyDeleteLooks like so much fun! I'm interested in the Quaker Steak & Lube. Never heard of it!
