‘Never Forgotten Run’ raises awareness for POW/MIA issues
Wednesday, July 9, 2014, 7 p.m. — The Never Forgotten Run was Saturday, June 12, 2014, beginning and ending at the Colvin Community Center in Radcliff. The motorcycle run’s purpose was to raise funds and assist veterans as well as raise awareness of the POW/MIA issues.
More than 40 riders signed up and made their way over a hundred miles of beautiful Kentucky scenery. Things got started with registration and everyone drawing a playing card, picking up another card at each stop.
The final stop was the last card drawn and the finish of the run. A lunch of hamburgers, hotdogs, chips, cookies and drinks was provided for a small donation. A 50/50 drawing and a raffle of a Ruger 308 rifle was held.
James Tanner had the winning hand, with Bob Anderson second and Dan Zebrauskas third. It was James Tanner’s lucky day for he also won the gun raffle. Tommy Slaven won the 50/50 drawing.
