Additionally, the Run will have a Red, White & Blue bus carrying Veterans, a camouflaged pick-up, and the U.S. Naval Submarine Base Color Guard - "The SILVER DOLPHINS" will be present for the lead off as well as a "chase trailer" following behind should any motorcycles break down. The Ride will conclude at the Plainfield VFW Post 5446 on 7 Winsor Ave in Plainfield (860-564-5446) with food, beverages, raffles, and door prizes. There will be a DJ (Tons of Tunes) at the beginning and end of the run as well as the outstanding, 9-piece, Rock 'N' Soul Revue band at the end. Bikers, riders and non-bikers wishing to partake of the festivities are ALL WELCOME. In these times, it is especially important to remember ALL of our Veterans, past and present. Many of whom are now Firefighters, EMS Personnel, Police men & women, and OUR local heroes everywhere.
