The August 18th 2nd annual JK Memorial Ride turned out to be a wonderfully successful event! In the end, we raised $3,000+ for the JK Memorial Fund! A HUGE THANKS goes out to everyone who volunteered to help, participated in, and donated money and prizes for the 2nd annual JK Memorial Ride.
The event kicked off at
Eddie and Donna Malek’s Man Cave &
Hoegaarden. From there, around 75 Harley
bikes fired up and lead us (Lori and I drove in a Jeep) on a tour of
southeastern Wisconsin. Our first stop
was at Witt's
End in Caledonia. They have an
awesome outside bar/beer-garden. Next we
headed to the Honey
Lake Inn in Burlington, where we were graciously hosted by the group
working and where the first Packer
jersey raffle was held. Next, we headed
to Dead Mann's Saloon in
Kansasville where they provided a great band and perfect atmosphere for our group
of riders.
Lastly, we headed to the Route 20 Outhouse in
Sturtevant. This is where we fed the
group with an excellent spread provided by Danny’s
Meat’s and roasted corn and drinks from the great team at the Route 20 Outhouse. Two local bands played, Woody and Weird Science. Both awesome bands!!! A silent auction was held between music sets
to give people the opportunity to try and win the many incredible auction items that
were donated for this event.
Donations for the auction included:
- $25 in gift certificates for Georgie Porgie’s
- 14 memberships to Anytime Fitness
- $25 gift certificate for Vitality, Wellness Spa & Boutique
- $50 gift certificate to Best Buy
- Several outdoor games and sports equipment from McGuinn & Assoc.

- A “Fun Pack” to Apple Holler
- $30 gift certificate for Texas Roadhouse
- One hour Massage ($70 value) at Headlines Hair Design Studio/Day Spa

The money raised will serve
the southeastern Wisconsin community in the form of scholarships and
donations to organizations that can make the world a better place.
Again, big thanks to all who donated to and participated in this incredible event!!!
