Grand Prize Chopperfest Quilt Presentation

Words by Big Dave Hansen

Grand Prize Chopperfest Quilt presentation to Rosie Steele pictured here with Tammy Hansen

 Rosie and Mike Steele won the Chopperfest 10 quilt but not without riding a rough road first. The Steele's purchased their tickets in advance, fully expecting to attend on December 8th. In the days just prior to the event, Mike Steele suffered a heart attack and is currently hospitalized in San Francisco. Mike's wife Rosie accepted the Grand Prize Quilt from it's maker, Tammy Hansen, and plans to take it home and put it on their bed for Mike's homecoming later this week.

 Bones Kenyon accepted the check for $1000 from Big Dave and Tammy Hansen on behalf of American Legion Post 50 where it will be used for Veteran's charities including their Homeless Veteran fund and the Wounded Warrior Project. 

The Hansen's would like to thank Chopperfest and their Directors for their efforts in making the Quilt Raffle possible. 

Well Done Biker Nation!

10th annual David Mann Chopperfest Quilt

From Big Dave - Director of the Chopperfest Art and Culture Show.

My wife just finished the 10th annual David Mann Chopperfest Quilt today. She has over a hundred hours and hundreds of dollars into producing it. The quilt will be the first prize at the charity raffle at Chopperfest where all proceeds will benefit Veteran's programs through Post # 50 of the American Legion. The Legion Riders are coming to Chopperfest and will run the raffle booth across from the Bike Show. We are asking $5 ea or 5 for $20. We also have prizes of a handmade Bowie knife forged from a warrior's file and deer antler with a custom case engraved with the Chopperfest 10 logo and lots of gold and silver jewelry from Segal's Fine jewelry in Paso Robles Ca. More prizes to be added by show time  Please come and support our efforts to support the families of the men and women who gave all to protect our most precious possession...our Freedom.

Thanks

Big Dave.
