Blessing of the Bikes draws hundreds of motorcyclists
The event marks the start of the biking season and raises money for local charities.
The blessing nearly didn t happen after the Park Township Board of Trustees rejected organizers plans for the township-owned Ottawa County Fairgrounds less than two weeks before the scheduled date.
The board voted against the event at the fairgrounds, citing the risk of a large event while another COVID-19 surge swept across the state.
According to the event s website, attendance was limited to 1,000 people, the maximum number allowed by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services for outdoor venues.
