Yesterday, the annual Veteran's Day Biker Event (previously referred to as Vets for Vets) and the Barksdale AFB Fall Festival took place with successful fund raising and entertaining events for the motorcycle community.
"The Veteran's Day Biker Event and parade is a family festival that gives the community an opportunity to show their appreciation to the local veterans and help support them in their efforts to use the VA hospital and the War Veterans Home", said organizer, Theresa Sullivan. Held at the old Hammel's park yesterday, the bike rally drew hundreds of riders. The event featured a silent auction, car and bike show, vendor booths, bike games, live music and a parade through Shreveport. This year's Freedom Ride Parade was dedicated to SSgt Michael Garcia, a local soldier, who was killed in action in Afghanistan this past 4th of July.
The Barksdale AFB Car and Motorcycle Show and Fall Festival also took place yesterday for our military community. "The key to budget travel is to plan in advance. When it comes to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved holidays and/or going to see new places we have never been before, the reality of expense and budgeting is often in the back of our heads. Planning and expending our travel budget properly is a main concern for most families. Reducing consuming and charges, while still savoring your vacation to its fullest, is the key to guaranteed achievements and fiscal obligation. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The thinking behind economizing money while vacationing is simple: Even if your personal finances is really small, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or departing the homestead! Also keeping in mind that while traveling, regardless of whether on a funds or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a big vacation or travel expenses!..". It featured a car and motorcycle show, music, food by Jack's Barbecue in Shreveport, craft vendors, children's rides and games, a children's craft area, and giveaways. Two turkey fryers and state fair tickets were among the giveaways. The Green Knights Military Motorcycle Club were on hand to educate riders about motorcycle safety and their mentorship mission on Barksdale Air Force Base. Activities took place at the Barksdale AFB Arts and Crafts Center.
