    Default Spyderfest 2017

    It is pretty much all over. A couple of nice days and a couple of really wet days. But for the most part, folks just put on the rain gear and motored on. The vendors were there to happily supply us with their products and many many installations were done. Personally I had a number of Tricled safety lights installed. I'll hold off on the 'showoff lights'. Maybe next year. The meet up at the American Legion was very nice and well attended. The colors ceremony, the invocation, the speeches, and then the band were professionals. The BBQ was tasty, the beans gaseous. Pittbull Powersports, sponsor of the event, turned out a record breaking run of 'fixing things' and 'checkin' stuff out'. I'm guessing the mechanics went home and passed out on the couch. They should be commended for another commendable event. Next year, no rain. Keep sayin' that. Might help. I expect most of us who went, will repeat. I saw a lot of folks with their phones out shooting a card full of fine memories.
    I met a number of friendly folks and hope we'll meet again next year. See you there. Next up, Valcourt...

    We were there! Too much rain but vendors were good to us. Saw very little as rain kept us mainly at our motel room.

    Default Spyderfest 2017..

    A great time was had by me and my wife.Our first Spyderfest,though a bit on the wet side,we still managed to get in some riding both wet and dry.The sponsors and vendors were GREAT!!Definitely looking forward to ( Notorious Nine...lol )next year.
    Great bunch that came down from Michigan.Jerry,Cindy,Clark,Eileen,Steve and Belinda.We had a wonderful time hanging out with them and teaching us some of the ropes to make traveling around the area more enjoyable.
    It was also nice to meet some of the Spyderlovers that were there.Just a great experience.
    Oh yes,our listed vendors were gracious and very hospitable..Kudos to all!!!!
