PARADE HISTORY

Come and celebrate the 13th Year anniversary of this Event.
PGR MISSION
To ride both motorcycles and cages in the parade with all the flags, honor and respect the PGR can muster for our military! Cages wanting to participate in the event.
GREAT NEWS!!!! I just received the info from the committee regarding our entry, and we are listed as starting in the front. The letter from the committee said in part: "Grouping all the motorcycles together at the very front of the parade will act as an alert to all the spectators that the parade has indeed started: if they don't see you at first they darn well will hear you coming!"
