We are very proud to offer you something new at this year’s 4th Annual Country Concert and Motorcycle Ride for Cystic Fibrosis.

Bike & Rider Portraits

$10 gets you a ready to display 5×7 professional portrait of you and your bike! What better time, it will be all polished up and ready for the ride.

Available for anyone, you do not have to have a bike to participate!

Listen for the announcement by D.J. Keystone Jukebox shortly after the riders arrive at the American Legion.

Pictures will be taken on a first come, first serve basis somewhere on the grounds of the Legion with the nicest backdrop. After they are processed, printed and matted, listen for another announcement letting you know when and where to go and pick up your picture before you leave!!!

Thank you to Lisa Ceaser Photography and GAC Photography for donating their time and talent for this great cause. All proceeds will go to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
