Saturday’s weather was perfect for the annual Ride of Pride, the Vietnam Veterans Honor Ride.
Shortly before 11:30 a.m., 107 riders on 74 motorcycles left Smethport on a trip of about 120 miles through McKean and Warren counties, which marked the third year since the Vietnam Veterans Moving Wall came to Hamlin Lake Park in Smethport. Scheduled stops were made at the Warren Eagles Club, Marienville Veterans Club and Mount Jewett Veterans Club before returning to Hamlin Lake Park in Smethport. Read more »
