The 2nd Annual Bicycle Show was held at Eagle’s Picnic Grounds in Carlisle the first Sunday in April. And, while we are now in the middle of summer, panting like dogs in heat, it isn’t that hard to remember how blustery and cold that day was for those of us that were there!

The show was to be held both indoors and out, but due to heavy rains the week before, the promoters decided to squeeze the bikes all inside. But, walking around the community building, there were plenty of customized frames and detailed spokes to be worth straining your neck here or there!

Trophy’s were awarded in seven different categories: first & second places in custom, radical custom, lowrider and restored, best paint, best in show, and a people’s choice - pretty good for a $5.00 entry fee!

In addition to the push-bikes that competed in the show, and a booth of beautiful Hooter’s girls inside, a handful of participants and attendees braved the cold outdoors to hear the bands that rocked out for their loyal fans and new listeners.
