The second annual Geezers, Gassers and Hogs car/bike rally and poker walk will be held Friday, April 18 in downtown Guthrie as part of its 84th annual 89er Days Celebration.
The rally, hosted by the Guthrie Rotary Club, will be held from 6-9 p.m. on Oklahoma Avenue between First and Wentz Streets, said Chuck Burtcher, event coordinator.
Ronnie Kaye from 92.5 KOMA radio will be broadcasting live 5-9 p.m. that night from Above the Rest antique mall, located at 110 West Oklahoma Avenue.
Burtcher said he expects close to 200 cars and motorcycles to be displayed during the rally. Last year, the event attracted about 90 participants.
“Our hopes are that people will bring vehicles and motorcycles that everyone is going to have an interest in seeing,” Burtcher said. “Last year we had cars come in from Shawnee and we actually had a car from California come in and join us. There is something for everyone. It is a lot of fun. People really enjoy it.” For more information about the rally contact Dan Newton at dan.c.newtown@gmail.com or call (405) 641-0888.
