The store is hosting the Third Annual Vintage Motorcycle Show the same day. We join our motor brothers and sisters for a post-ride celebration, featuring a blues band - The Santiago Brothers. Are they any good, you ask? Hell yeah. They pack the house on free beer night. Speaking of beer, we will have plenty of it. Great beer from Martin City Brewing Company.
