Thousands of riders took part in the "Wounded Vet Run" benefit for five Marines who were seriously injured in the 2021 suicide bombing outside Kabul's airport.
The ruckus, as riotously raucous as it may have been, wasn’t the result of a massive mob bent on some malicious act terrorizing the North Shore to close out the weekend, but a yearly charity ride to benefit the veterans of the U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
A balloon festival, antique extravaganza and a wine stroll are just some of the exciting events on the calendar for this weekend.
For motorcycle lovers, there is the 4th annual Vet Run at Gator Harley, for art lovers there’s an Artist Talk and Open Mic in Leesburg and for food lovers, check out Food Truck Night in Umatilla. So, grab the whole family and enjoy the weekend.
Here’s what’s on tap:
Lake County Balloon Festival
This weekend, enjoy the sights of the Lake County Balloon Festival held at Sheets Airport, 6548 Groveland Airport Road in Groveland, beginning at 5 p.m. Friday through Sunday.
