We are looking for food vendors and product vendors to attend Kickback Campout. Our attendance is 300 hungry people looking for food and stuff to buy. If you are a vendor or know a vendor that might be interested. Send an email to lewiscountyabate@gmail.com with contact information and we will get back to you.
We were unable to hold any fundraisers this past year due to the pandemic. We need to raise money for our Scholarship Fund. We provide Scholarships for eight of the High Schools in Lewis County. Elk Country Chapter takes care of the three in the east end.
We are looking forward to Kickback this year. It is dry camping. You are welcome to bring your RV or put up a tent. There will be porta-pottys on site. Food vendors and product vendors will be there. Live music on Friday and Saturday. Steel Horses will play Friday night. Johnny Wheels & The Swamp Donkeys will be playing Saturday night. Tickets are limited, so get them online now. This is a 21 and over event. Dogs are welcome. They need to be on a leash. This is always a laid-back good time. So if you are looking to hang out with your friends and make some new friends. Join us from August 20th to the 22nd. You can use this link to purchase tickets ahead of time. $45 for ABATE members and $50 for non-members. Tickets are limited. Get them now!
Coordinator's Report
Hello All
We are moving along for our Kickback for this year. We are just weeks away from the event. If you know of anyone that would like to sponsor Kickback or be a vendor be sure to have them reach out to us. Remember we are working on getting limited edition shirts made which will showcase each sponsor that contributes $100.
One of our long time members, Bud Galster, has and is going through some pretty serious medical events. As a friend, brother and family member I want to send love and prayers out to you and your family. The family is currently seeking any donations that could help with any of their medical needs. As discussed in our meetings we are working to put together some fundraisers to help them meet the financial demands.
Finally, we were scheduled to do work on our kickback trailer on the 11th of July. This has been postponed for a later date. We have scheduled the celebration of Low and Shellis anniversary weekend celebration as of the 10th.
Thank you all! Ride safe, ride like you're invisible!
