2008 Tomahawk Fall Ride for MDA


Thursday, September 11 through Sunday, September 14, 2008

   

This year marks the 27th annual Tomahawk Fall Ride for MDA!
 
The Tomahawk Fall Ride brings in more than 40,000 motorcycle enthusiasts and others to the area each September. The event not only brings in entertainment and the newest motorcycles and accessories from Harley-Davidson Motor Company, but it also raises money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA). In fact, the Tomahawk Fall Ride is the largest local fund raiser for MDA in North Central Wisconsin.

Information for the 2008 event will be posted in early 2008 or when information becomes available.
