Please make sure to join us the first Saturday of every month (except June-August) for the FREE Pancake breakfast at Avalanche Harley-Davidson. We serve them up until they are gone- or until you’re full…… whichever comes first.

“Clean Out Your Closets” Motorcycle Swap Meet The 1st Annual Swap meet held at the American Legion Post 178 was a great success. The turnout was fabulous and everyone enjoyed themselves. There were 15 great vendors with a variety of items for sale, from motorcycle clothes to parts and jewelry. There were yummy bake goods and chili for a donation and the Legion had the bar open for beverages. The donations from the food and the door admission netted $220.50 cash and a large box of can goods and clothing were donated to the Redeeming Love Church. The booth rental went to the American Legion Post 178. Many thanks to Sara Walczyk-Symons, Nancy Galloway, Sharon Thompson and Debi Espinoza for organizing the Swap Meet. Can't wait for the next one!

A lot of things for sale at the Swap meet! Sara & Celeste making friends and selling baked goods.

If you’ve got it and don’t want it, sell it!
