Lighthouse Run beckons bikers
Photo by Lou Sennick
Hundreds of Harley riders agree: The grandeur of the Oregon Coast is best experienced on a hog.
On June 25 and 26, bikers will descend on the Bay Area for the 10th Annual Lighthouse Run, sponsored by Highway 101 Harley-Davidson.
The event will lead hundreds of motorheads as far south as Port Orford and as far north as Newport. They’ll make stops at the state’s storied and much-photographed lighthouses along the way, in hopes of scoring a winning poker hand.
Winners will collect cash prizes and a brand new Harley-Davidson.
Registration is from 4-8 p.m., Friday, June 25, at The Mill Casino-Hotel.
Event packets will include T-shirts, pins, meal tickets, raffle tickets and promotional items. This also is your opportunity to purchase your poker hands for a chance at the winnings.
