Ronnie,
Sorry it has taken so long for me to give you an update on JRFH 2005. Thank you so much for having me in your thoughts during this event, you were in
mine also, as it just wasn't the same without IH headlining this year. I really missed us getting to set down after everything was said and done,
catching up, relaxing, chasing a few shots with a cold one and laughing until the birds started singing up the morning sun.
Friday started out with getting everything set up and the vendors coming in, we had 10 this year, and then the campers started pulling in. By late
afternoon the field had a good amount of tents and campers. The band "SHAMELESS", which is local and has a great following played from 9-1am. Both
the beef and pork were in their cookers and it was time to lay down about 4:30am.
About 7am Saturday I got started with coffee, breakfast and last minute things before I raced off to sign 148 bikes up for the 140 mile Memorial Poker
Run. WHAT A GREAT TURN OUT!!!!
The CAR SHOW only had a handful of participants show up, but that is ok, it was our first year. Now I depend on word of mouth and will give it three
years before I do another change.
Two of my favorite people pulled in to set up sound, Karen & Jimmy ( it was great getting to see them). Karen and I actually had time to set and
talk for a short time. Something was missing that I had grown used to over the last four years and that was you and the BOYZ being there.
Jimmy and Karen "THANK YOU", from the bottom of my heart for your support of JRFH and taking care of "Terry Davidson & The Gears" just like you
would take care of Ronnie and the Boyz. You guys are truely ANGELS and nothing but good can come your way.
Lets see how can I describe the Benefit Auction? DISSAPOINTING

HORRIFYING

UNBELIEVABLE

I
called it off and put everything back in the trailer, we are there for a reason and it was to raise money, not give things away. We were heckled by
several people attending the auction and I tried my best to ignore it and walk away, which I did several times, but enough was enough! THANKS FOR
TURNING DOWN THE VOLUME JIMMY!!!!
Terry Davidson & The Gears rocked the night until about 1:15am with everyone enjoying them.
Before bills were paid, the total amount raised was over $10,000.00, which I will say is FANTASTIC
HEY JIMMY, HOW'S THE JACKET FEELIN' ?
Thank you so much Ronnie, asking for an update on this years JRFH. Plans are already being made for the 8th Annual JRFH, which will take place July
7th-9th, 2006 so mark it on your calendar! I hope to see you while you are in Ohio or if you and the "Guys" have time, a good home cooked meal is
always waiting here at the farm. "THE PINK FLAMINGO LOUNGE" is open 24-7.
Good luck on your new traveled road and enjoy. Hope to talk soon!
Love,
Nance
