The Kettle Moraine ATV Association, The Lakeshore ATV/UTV club, and Wisconsin ATV/UTV Association will again host the 15th Annual ATV/UTV Charity Ride on October 29th at The Washington County Fair Park in West Bend. Again, this year we will be raising money for "Make-A-Wish Wisconsin." Last year, our first year in West Bend we had 180 riders and raised an incredible $22,000. Thank you to everyone who participated, sponsored, donated and/or contributed in any way. You will be able to ride your ATV/UTV directly from the fair park to the road routes of the Kettle Moraine State Forest.
PLEDGES
Only if you are comfortable in doing so, start by printing a Pledge Form from the tab on the left and round up all the donations you can from family, friends, coworkers, school or church people, or even other club members. If people donate only $5 at a time, that amount will add up quickly. These pledges will count towards your entry registration. Don't worry, if you have a hard time asking for money, you can simply pay the $30 (individual) or $55 (Immediate family) at registration. Pre register for only $20 or $45 (Please see below for more info).
PARKING
There is plenty of parking at the Washington County Fair Park and Convention Center. We are currently working with the City of West Bend on temporary road routes. There is a possibility some of the hotels having direct access to the routes, however we are still working with the City and will have more information when its available.
PRE REGISTRATION
We will be giving a $10 incentive for those who pre-register. Simply print out the form from the Pre Registration Form from the tab at the left, fill it out, and mail it in. When you arrive Saturday, pick up your meal wristbands and a map at the registration table. We would like to have everyone pre register to get an accurate number to give the caterer.
WEDNESDAY
As an ice breaker for the Kettle Moraine club and the Lakeshore club to get to know one another a littler better, and hopefully finalize the roles for those helpers, we are having a meet and greet for the 2 clubs at 5 Pillers restrauant at 6:00pm. If you have not done so yet, please reply to Connie or Tim as soon as you decide. We need to give the restrauant a head count
THURSDAY
Let the fun begin. Meet at 9:00am at the Fair park and lets ride the day away. After the ride, we will head to the Pizza Ranch in West Bend to eat the night away. To cap off the day, we will have an ice cream social compliments of the club.
FRIDAY
Couldn't make it Thursday, then Friday may be the day for you. Meet at the Fair park at 9:00am ready to see the sights of the Kettle Moraine. We will ride until about 4:00pm and then head to a local grill afterwords for a fish fry or other cullinary delights. You get 3 days or riding for one charitable donation price.
SATURDAY MORNING REGISTRATION
Saturday registration will be 7:00-9:00am at the Washington County Fair Park located at 3000 Hwy PV in West Bend. (Hwy's 45 and PV). You will be given a wrist band for each person in your party. This will be your Saturday dinner ticket and door prize ticket so do not loose it. Dinner is 1 time through and then until it's gone and your wristband will be cut off and turned in and entered as your door prise drawing. You will have a chance to buy a bulb from the big star for a chance to win a gift to be determined as we get closer. Even if you pre-registered, we ask you still come through the registration table.
THE RIDE
At 8:45 am we'll have a riders meeting followed by a group photo. From there individual groups will head out to ride on there own. For those who need someone to ride with, are unfamiliar with the routes, or simply don't want to fight with a map, we will have 3 guided groups, leaving right after the picture so please be unloaded, gassed up, and ready to go by 9:00am. Because of the large size of the groups, we have arranged a quick grap and go lunch to get us in and out as quick as possible. Try to be back around 4:00 pm so there is plenty of time to load up by 5:00pm for the evening festivities.
