And the winners are.........................

From Tory DuVarney - Event Coordinator

This year marked the 10th Anniversary of the David Mann Chopperfest so we wanted to create an event that really celebrated the life of David Mann. With the help of over 60 artists we created an art show that was the best I have seen. There was so much talent and so many different mediums used, the buzz in that room was electric. To top it off Jacquie Mann and family were in the foyer greeting everyone as they walked in. The Bike Show had an incredible turnout of bikes, the judges always have their work cut out because everyone of those bike is deserving in my opinion. It was a very special day filled with lots of love and appreciation for people and their talents. Its an honor and privilege for me to be the event organizer. Its the artists and builders who make the show so great. If you build it they will come!
