August 29, 2010, we had our first "BE LIKE BW DAY," where patrons and friends ranging from ages 10 to 80 dressed up like Bentley, even a few girls! Bentley's daughter, Lisa, hosted the event and shared a few stories about her dad. Our judges picked Ray as winner who even included a look a like tattoo of Bentley's panhead on his arm. Bentley snuck in behind the contestants dressed in a SUIT! It even surprised his daughter! We shared lots of laughter and Bentley hung out for an autograph session.
Special thanks to Martha
Jones who sold 50/50 raffle tickets to raise money for a local nine year
old boy, Isaac Turner, and his family.

August 13, 2010, nearly 200
bikes thankfully escorted by Lee police took the night ride over to Lee
USA Speedway in New Hampshire to benefit the Petty's Victory Junction Gang
Camp, a camp initiated by NASCAR's Petty family to enrich the lives of
children with serious illnesses. Lee USA Speedway let our ride
take a few laps around the track as the crowd loudly cheered us on.
It was an awesome night, and we raised a few thousand dollars for the
kids. Lee USA Speedway also set us up with a hospitality tent and
provided pit passes to watch the ISMA Super Modified Classic Race, which
was won by Bentley's teammate Chris Perley.

The second annual memorial ride in honor of Herb Noble to benefit the Barbara Bush's Children Hospital was held on July 24, 2010. Herb's family demonstrates true compassion and their endless efforts to raise money were evident as there was tremendous support from the community. There were rain clouds, but 65 bikers showed up and the sun shined upon us, a sense of Herb's spirit on the ride. Also along the ride with Herb's family on the half bus was the spirit of Specialist Alan Hamlyn who is currently stationed in Afghanistan. (check out the pics to see how Alan attended the ride). On behalf of the Barbara Bush's Children Hospital, guest speakers Diane Freschette and Lisa Irish gave heartfelt speeches about their children whose lives were saved at the hospital. There was a surprise visit from Channel 8 who interviewed Herb's sons, Bob & Tom. Generous donations were also made at an auction at the saloon following the ride. |

We had "Christmas in July" and teamed up with Butch Lizotte with the United Bikers of Maine to benefit Caring Unlimited and the York County Shelter. Motorcyclists came from the Buxton Tavern and Rochester Harley presenting gifts under a Christmas tree for children. We even had Santa Claus - can you guess who dressed up as Santa? It wasn't Bentley. Thanks to everyone who had the spirit! |

July 10, 2010, we were honored to be a part of the Wounded Heroes ride which started at the Maine Veterans Home with nearly 500 motorcycles and tremendous sponsorship support. Pam Payeur who organized this ride is a true hero herself. Her passion and dedication is amazing. The Wounded Heroes Program grew out of Pam's efforts when she watched her son, who had come home after being wounded, struggle to earn the benefits he had earned as a soldier.
" One of the biggest challenges our wounded troops face is the transition from military to civilian life after being injured in the line of duty. This is difficult for anyone leaving the service, but our wounded heroes often face additional physical and emotional challenges. Navigating the multiple bureaucracies responsible for their needs can be tremendously frustrating and far too often our heroes fall through the cracks. They also often need financial assistance to bridge the gap and we help them as they get their affairs in order." --www.warriorlegacyfoundation.org.
We were also honored
with the presence of Howe & Howe Technologies who design and build
military defense equipment. Watch their show on the Discovery
Channel Tuesdays at 10:00 pm. Maybe we'll be on! For more

May 1, 2010, Bentley's Saloon hosted their first Annual Kentucky Derby party with the help of Karaoke Annie. Several ladies really played the part and came dressed with their big fancy hats and dresses, and the judges picked Martha Jones for the most original hat. She taped dandelions on a motorcycle helmet! She said it took her two hours to create it. After a few mint juleps, we had our own derby in the backyard. Our derby was on horse sticks!! Nine contenders galloped, if we can call it that, with the horse sticks between their legs, blew up a balloon, sat in a chair to pop the balloon and returned to the finish line. The top 3 winners received awards and the other contestants were given prizes. One of the contenders, Janice, celebrated her birthday! There were great laughs, and we had requests to do it again next year!

April 25, 2010, we were honored to be involved with the 3rd Annual 2010 Spring Ride for the Troops presented by the Patriot Riders of New England and hosted by VFW Post 6977 in York, Maine where supporters and bikers gathered for a delicious breakfast. The ride departed with hundreds of motorcycles carrying American Flags on their bikes. It was generously escorted by several police & fire depts. - York, South & North Berwick, Sanford, Kennebunk, Old Orchard Beach, Windham and South Portland areas. The ride ended at the saloon where ceremonies were joined with several speakers - Shelley Pellitier, Commander AMVETS Post #1; Leslie Taylor; the oldest member from AMVETS; Nancy Lee Kelly, Gold Star Mother; Vickey LaBonte, President of Blue Star Mothers; National Anthem Singer, Carlyn Maheau; and veteran Robert Baker, who shared his personal experiences in Iraq and expressed how much a care package means to a solider - even the little things such as Beef Jerky and Crystal Drink packets. The ceremony was beyond words and as Bentley said it made you teary eyed. Click here to view the pictures. We are proud to say the ride raised over $4,000 to send care packages to the soldiers. VFW Post 6977 has raised nearly THREE MILLION DOLLARS since 2001 to Support the Troops.
