It's been awhile since I've been but had a blast, as someone said earlier if you ride a bike they will let you go into town and park. Watching the parade on Saturday, wandering around town and eating some great food and drinking cold beer it doesn't get much better then that. I wish that my wallet was in better shape so I could ride up and join you, have fun and watch for the LAW, they will be everywhere in the area that weekend........
