25th Anniversary at work.

Saturday, April 7th, was the 25th Anniversary for our family-owned motorcycle and ATV shop. 25 years in this business can be difficult to achieve, especially in today's cut-throat climate. However, I'm proud to say that we did it. I hope we can be around for at least 25 more. We had a great time at our celebration. The coldest weather for that date in a hundred years crimped the turnout a bit, but the people that did make it out were some of our best customers over the years and we all had a blast. We had a couple of great entertainers, J.D. Pollard, who has done a lot of back-up singing for Motown, and was once Ray Charles' opening act, and a band made up of teenagers, Young At Heart, who play and sing like they are at least ten years older than they are. They definitely have a future ahead of them! They did a cover of "Freebird" by Lynyrd Skynyrd, and the lead guitar player, who is about sixteen years old, blew the store down practically with the long, blistering guitar solo at the end. If you'd have closed your eyes, you'd have been hard pressed to tell that Skynyrd themselves weren't playing it. Overall, it was a wonderful 25th year celebration and it gave us all in the family a chance to sit back, reflect, and enjoy an accopmplishment we can be proud of.
