• EWD, a Florida bike builder was also there raffling off one of their creations for charity
• A bike contest for various class motorcycles was judged and announced later in the day or should I say evening. Nobody entered into the Christmas theme class so the person with a green bike was awarded 2^nd place for that class and another entrant with a red bike got 1^st place in the Xmas class. All trophies were provided by EWD.
• The BEST deal at the fest was the Gold Rush Soda $5.00 stainless steel cup  you when buy for your choice of six olde time flavors and FREE refills! My favorites were the Olde time Root beer and Dark Birch Beer.
