Motorcycle ride to benefit Northbrook animal shelter
Rev up your Harley, Honda, or any other vehicle for Heartland Animal Shelter’s Seventh Annual Hogs for Dogs & Kitties Too Charity Ride on Sunday, Sept. 8.
Registration will start at 10:30 a.m. at Heartland Animal Shelter, 2975 Milwaukee Ave., Northbrook, and the ride will start with the first bike out at 11:45 a.m. From 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. riders can visit the animals at the shelter.
The leisurely “observation” ride will wind through the northern suburbs, approximately 70 miles, ending at the after “paw-ty” at Side-Outs Bar and Eatery, 4018 Roberts Road, Island Lake.
Free food will be provided to registered attendees as well as live music by Average Joe Band and Free Force.
Participants can take part in a large raffle for the animals with plenty of great prizes. Also the day of the event, riders and passengers are encouraged to bring 10 items from Heartland’s Wish List at www.heartlandanimalshelter.net in exchange for a Hogs for Dogs (and kitties too) patch.
Registration is $25 in advance or $30 on the day of the ride. Registration is $10 in advance for passengers of riders, or for those who just want to join the “paw-ty” after the ride.
