2010 PRIMARY OFFICER/HOG OFFICER TRAINING

The weather started out foggy and bitter cold.  The fog cleared and by the time the group reached Rogers, Arkansas, the temps were quite mild.  But, on Friday, the temperatures started to cool, snow started to fall and, by the time everyone was ready to go home, there was almost 12 inches of snow on the ground.

The group gets ready for the opening ceremonies.  Arriving on stage on a motorcycle sets the tone for the event!
We had the privilege to be the first group to say goodbye to POT . . . . . . and hello to HOT!
They showed a very compelling video of "Cippy" and his travels, including showing up for the parade at the HOG National Rally in Oklahoma City!  He is quite a character and turned out to be the celebrity of the event!

They fed us very well and the drinks were flowing.

The band was great and everyone partied into the night!

 

The closing session provided as much motivation and as many laughs as the opening ceremony!

 

The now started on Saturday afternoon and continued through the evening and into Sunday!

Nothing to do but rest and wait for the trailers to arrive from St. Louis.

This one had to go on backwards.

But, with the help of Andy and Tim, all is well that ends well.  And HOT ended well!
