Riders Attend Brewers Game - May 10, 2008

Photos below were taken of Districts 1 and 4/5 at the Brewers / Cardinals ball game on Saturday May 10. This was the beginning of Armed Forces Week so we got field box seats for half price and a CARDINAL win, what more could you ask. Good group and they let us park the bikes with flags flying right next to the stadium. Curtiss went above and beyond to set this up…THANKS CURTISS !!

Note the face on Kurt…..the Cardinals were winning and Kurt was just a little grumpy with me. For those who don’t know, I’m a fourth generation Cardinals fan and they ALWAYS win when I go……not that I rub it in at all……
