Attends Blitz2Branson

By MELVIN SMITH

This was my third year to attend the Blitz2Branson that Voni Glaves sponsors and she really does a good job and every one enjoyed themselves. I think there were at least 160 bikes at the Honeysuckle Inn and almost all were BMWs except one Suzuki Burgman Scooter!  At the big party Saturday night there were all kinds of gag gifts for door prices and you had to open your gift so all could see it. There were also some really good door prizes. I got the prize for the oldest rider to ride a bike there, there was one rider that was 4 years older than me but when he got ready to go to Branson it was pouring down rain so he took his car so I won by default!

  Iva Cassidy’s daughter Rita and her sister--in-law were at the big hotel in the pictures for an all day event and the sun came out so I rode out to the Hotel and it surprised me when it clouded over and I rushed back to the motel just before it came one of the 3 showers after it cleared up that day!  Some of the guys even ran into some hail. There were two ladies present that have both ridden BMW motorcycles over 900,000 miles and both intend to ride a MILLION miles!!!
