Well, we are all back safe and in one piece after one hell of a weekend in Kentucky! A bunch of Brothers from Illinois went down to the Hawg Valley Rally in Graham, Kentucky last weekend. After a very, very looooong ride down (one Brother had just rebuilt his engine, so nothing over 60mph…) we arrived at the Rally Friday afternoon and set up shop.

We had the privilege of meeting a heck of a lot of Brothers from all parts at the Rally. We met Brothers from Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, Missouri, and Indiana. What an inspiring and awesome display of Brotherly Love.

We partied well into Friday night and woke up bright and early Saturday, when we took off to visit the Brethren hosting the Thunder on the Trace Ride in Paducah (90 miles away). We hung out for a bit and were able to meet the Most Worshipful Grand Master of Masons of Kentucky who was gracious enough to lend his support by making time in his very busy schedule to make an appearance. We were very impressed and honored. That was a really big, big deal and I am humbled and honored that the Brothers in Kentucky are doing so well!

We then went back to the Rally and proceeded to party on into Sunday. What a great time! Fun and fellowship were enjoyed by all and now I know why this is an annual event for the Chicago Chapter! This was the first time I was able to go due to my military service obligations and I wasn’t let down! DAMN!

Just gotta stay away from that moonshine…. 

Pics are coming soon.

S&F,
Ted
