The Canadian Legion of Riders motorcycle club raised $16,000 at their annual Ride for a Vet rally this past summer.

The funds are being distributed to clubs, charities, to support making of veterans' graves, the Poppy Fund and sports groups.

The run was dedicated to all "fallen riders," both within the club and across the country.

More than 100 riders participated in the rally, with more than 1,000 taking in the rally and the evening entertainment.

Playing to a full house at Meota were Rosetta and Consenting Adults, a sister band.

A few retail booths were set up and a bike roadeo was entertaining, as several brave souls signed up to show off their skill at handling a bike in motion.

A "dyno machine" was also available to all who wanted to test the horse power and performance of their bikes.
