Christian Motorcycle Association (CMA). Everyone will meet for Sunday
worship in front of the Main Stage. Following the services, the bikes will
move across the Mississippi River to the Isle of Capri for the Bike Show.
The bikes will be judged by category and will also have a "People's
Choice" award. Following the bike show the moment everyone has waited for
is the drawing for a brand new 2002 Harley Davidson V-Rod, which is being
given away by the Isle of Capri Casino & Resort will be the Rally's
highlight. This is Harley Davidson's newest and most radical bike ever
offered to the public. It is the bike of the future for Harley Davidson
and has been in very short supply due to its newness and short supply. We
are very fortunate that the Wild Hog's major sponsor, the Isle of Capri -
Lula, had the foresight to obtain such a desirable model Harley to give
away in this year's drawing.

good music, good food, good times and especially good friends. Throughout
