Motorbikes, burnouts and family fun.
That is what those heading to Wayne this weekend will get to experience.
The 2015 Motorcycle Madness will ride the Valley on Friday July 10 and Saturday July 11.
Organizer Terry Kuhl said the event has been taking place for over 10 years and is for fun, but also for local charity.
“This year the charity we have picked is Kids Sport. Kids Sport is a national foundation but the money that we raise will stay local and help local kids with cost of participating in various types of sporting activities,” he said.
Kuhl said the event will start Friday evening with a meet and greet get together where the participants meet at Yavis Restaurant for a steak supper and ride.
Saturday morning Breakfast will be served at the Last Chance Saloon in Wayne and then the Show n’ Shine will take place at 10 a.m. along with the poker run registration.
“Every year we get about 60 or 70 bikes entering in the different classes. We’ve got a class for vintage bikes, metric bikes, American standard and custom,” he said.
After the winners are announced, the bike games will begin. The events will take place in an open field area next to the Saloon and will feature various types of races and a motorcycle tire toss. Kuhl said prizes are given away for the different events as well as for the show n’ shine.
“There may even be a burn out if we have someone interested in setting some smoke for us,” he said.
He said after the games are completed the Poker Run will begin.
“This year it will take us to Rockyford, Carbon and then back into Drumheller. It will end sometime around 4:30-5 with bikes coming for their last card at the Last Chance Saloon,” he said.
“Last year we sold about 75 hands for the Poker Run, so we probably had something in excess of 100-125 bikes,” Kuhl told the Mail.
“People are certainly invited to come out and participate in viewing of the show n’ shine bikes,” he said. “They can put an entry form in for people’s choice and get the chance to maybe win something for themselves, and of course the bike games are always fun to watch.”
