une 28th, 2008: Legacy Harley Davidson (Effingham,IL) is having its 3rd Anniversary party. There will be food and entertainment and if its anything like the last two parties, it will be a blast. We can all meet there, enjoy the festivities and then go for a ride or whatever else we want to do. Im friends with the owners and they wanted us back again this year.
A bunch of us usually meet at the hotel on Friday evening and go for a ride and get some food. We have our normal party around the pool but its much milder than the Saturday night party. Of course with the response we're getting so far, that could easily change this year
.
Effingham is located where I-70 crosses I-57 in Central Illinois. Its about 1 hr from Terre Haute and less than 2 hrs from St. Louis. Probably around 3-3 1/2 hrs from Chicago.
Here is a Link to Legacy Harley Davidson which also has a map in the Dealer Info Area:
CLICK HERE The Legacy page will be updated soon with a list of everything planned for the event. The Illinois State HOG Rally will be held at Legacy HD this year two weeks before our big party. Dont get that info mixed up when you are reading the Legacy Internet Site.
Entertainment Update: The Georgia Satelites will be performing in the early evening at Legacy Harley Davidson. You may remember them and their big hit "Keep Your Hands To Yourself." Country Rock at it's best. \\; Here is a link to their site: \\; http://www.thegeorgiasatellites.com/

3rd Annual HDF Midwest Rally **Back From The Rally Update**
. The first year we stole a keg of beer from a wedding party at the Hilton next door. That was a great time. The funny thing is............the Holiday Inn wants us back
