Hogs 4 Dogs USA Bike Night – May 7th, 2013

Tammie Hartley — Thu, 09 May 2013 04:38:17 +0000

A big thank you to everyone who came out and shared in the good time Tuesday night! We had a pretty good crowd of people show up considering the crazy weather that we have had lately. We enjoyed meeting new people and talking with old friends. Please, if you have nothing to do on Tuesday nights, stop by Bridge City Bowl and join us!!! Hogs 4 Dogs USA Bike nights are the first Tuesday of every month except in July and then it’s July 3 for the Bike and Car Show and Swap Meet.

This little guy rode in on a beautiful Triumph. Safety first as he is secured tightly and carefully in place with his doggles on. Love the blue mohawk!

We will be posting the majority of the pictures taken at events on facebook for a while until we get all the photos uploaded from the ride last year. We may sneak a few pictures in from time to time on here though so keep watching! Please get on the Hogs 4 Dogs USA facebook page and tag away at photos of you and your friends!

Toward the end of the bike night a couple came rolling in from Eddyville on their brand new custom bike from Fat Baggers Inc. They had just picked it up at 4:30 and were still getting used to all the features. The circle of men surrounding it at one point was awesome and then the owner lowered the bike and it was like Christmas. The picture below gives you an idea of the Razorback. There are more pictures posted on Facebook.

A big thanks to Brad Moureau and his mother for thinking of Hogs 4 Dogs USA!!! On Saturday, February 16th, a small Hogs crew was invited to do concessions for a farm auction with profits from concessions being donated to Hogs 4 Dogs USA. Believe us, this is not something we would have thought up ourselves. The morning started at 19° and the coffee and hot chocolate sales were awesome. We met some really wonderful people, got to sell some food, and share the Hogs 4 Dogs USA mission. Unfortunately, the camera got put away before the whole crew showed up to protect it from the cold weather. Thanks to the crew on the the serving line: Tammie Hartley, Joanie Hartley, Lori Quinn, Jayne Peck, Olivia Pilcher, and Mindy Beekman. Special thanks to the J-Crew for all their heavy lifting, trash hauling, sweeping and support! (John Hartley, Joe Beekman and Joe Pilcher) Here are some pics of the set up before we got going. Keep us in mind for other fundraising ideas!!!

Feb. 12, 2013 – The Ottumwa Police Department K9 Unit received a kevlar vest for Shariek at the Main Street Ottumwa Soup and Scoop. The vest was presented to K9 Officer Cody McCoy following a speech by Police Chief Jim Clark. This is a great way to get the word out about the Hogs 4 Dogs USA mission and protect one of the animals in the community trained to protect us.
