Motorcycle Run For Geauga Veterans 2014

With each streaming an American flag behind them, the two lead riders at the 9^th Annual Burton Middlefield Rotary Motorcycle Run roared out of the Geauga County Fairgrounds at mid-morning on June 29^th. Total riders numbered 119, as Sheriff Dan McClelland and Midge led the 60 mile ride that started with coffee and doughnuts (provided by Maggie’s Doughnuts of Middlefield)  and ended with a picnic lunch, music by DJ Crazy Dave ,a 50/50 raffle and military equipment (provided by the Gerry Farrow and the Burton American Legion Post). The 50/50 raffle winner, Deputy Copen of the Geauga County Sheriff’s Department, netted almost $400 which he graciously donated back to the veterans’ fund. This year’s run was a huge success because of the generosity of our sponsors, volunteers and veterans. Together we raised $11,000 to help our Geauga County veterans in need.
