Re: Pedal Mania at Wichita's River Fest

Any of you local RRB guys going to make it? I'm getting a little worried. I've had 0 response. A handful of Coasters will be in Salina the whole weekend so they are out but there's plenty others here to put on a good show.

Oh and if you're anti-riverfest don't think of it as a riverfest event but as a Dealno event and the Delano district's been good to the Coasters.

I saw part of them driving by, and I was like... looks like he is building a big doghouse, lol. Kinda figured you were up to something!

Here's just a couple photos...

We had a great time. (I threw alot of papers when I was a kid) We went and rode the paddle boats when we got done. It was like riding a 20" bike that you couldn't stand up on :shock:
