RED
THUNDER ROLLING RIDES AGAIN! For the 7th consecutive year, the Red Thunder Rolling motorcycle journey to the Gathering of Nations will take place on April 27, and will be arriving at the Pit at approximately 2pm for anyone wanting to see approximately 200+ bikes roaring into the Pit parking lot.
Each year the the motorcycle ride benefits a worthy cause to bring attention to grass roots endeavors that promotes family and community. Previous rides have raised funding to support memorial scholarship funds for surviving children of workers, military care package project during the holiday season, and last year, a donation for the Navajo Code Talker Museum Project.
