The rally organizers in Hot Springs don ’ t play when they plan their rally . Every detail , no matter how small , is planned out and posted on the internet for the Hot Springs Rally , scheduled for September 7-9 at the Hot Springs Convention Center . These folks are ready to rock your world ; are you ready for them ?
We told you about last year ’ s Rally , and they seem to have a passion to turn up the heat even more each year . For 2017 , they ’ ve lined-up specialty bike and trike manufacturers ; Can-Am , Harley and
Indian are bringing their best of show for you to try out , try on and see which one makes you look prettiest of all , and they ’ ll have all kinds of merch to really bring out the black in your pupils . Of course , there will be custom bike and trikes and a ‘ Vendor Mall ’ so start digging under the couch cushions for change for some new duds , tees , add-on chrome or parts . There is a mall for bikers ? Who thought this up ? Pure genius , that ’ s who .
One of the big draws at Hot Springs is the music . This year ’ s acts offer variety and they are even bigger than last year ’ s . They have Kelly Pickler singing her way into everyone ’ s hearts with her numerous country crooning hits . Rolling Stone named her album 100 Proof “ Best Country Album of 2011 ” and she has so many hit songs we could fill a page with the titles , but maybe you already know “ No Cure for Crazy ” or “ Red High Heels ”? She ’ s gone on 11 USO tours so we love her already ( she ain ’ t hard on the eyes either , so there ’ s that ). More info on Kelly can be found at www . kelliepickler . com . She ’ ll be a little touched in the head on Friday .
26 OKLAHOMA BIKER - THE RIDERS RAGAZINE
Anyone over 40 knows who this band is just by hearing the title of their big song , “ Jeremiah was a Bullfrog ” ( well , it ’ s technically “ Joy to the World ”), which will now be stuck in your head the rest of the day . If you find a way to get rid of it , let us know , because we ’ ve been stuck on that song since June 3 . These guys have been around for HALF a CENTURY !
