2011 Rally

The 5th Annual Wardens on Wheels Rally has come and gone.  It was a very nice, sunny and enjoyable weekend.  In total we had 18 bikes and 23 riders attend the rally.  Riders from SK, MI, MN, KS, ND, MB, WI, and MO were in attendance, including 8 new riders.  We successfully raised about $2,700.00 for the museum, through our pledges. 
Friday night we met for supper and some of the riders got together around the campfire to socialize.  Saturday had us meeting at the Game Warden Museum for a short meeting then heading out on the Heather Nadolski Memorial Poker Run.  For the first time in recent memory we appeared to have an honest dealer for the poker hands.  We had one scare when one of the rider fell ill and was taken to the local hospital.  Fletch is well on his way to recovery and I'm sure we will see him again next year.  He did express some doubt that the poker hand we dealt for him turned out to be the winning hand.  We finished the day cooking Smokies (Brats) over the fire and visiting into the wee hours of a gorgeous ND night. 
A paving stone, featuring the Wardens on Wheels logo, has been ordered and should be available for viewing at next year's rally.  Plans have and are being made for the 6th Annual Rally which will take place the weekend of August 11th, 2012.  Mark your calendars and I hope to see a large turn out next year.
