2013 Ride for the Breath of Life

June 15, 2013 the Kinsmen Club of Brandon held the “Ride for the Breath of Life” Motorcycle and Classic Car Ride.

The Ride for the Breath of Life is an annual national motor sports fundraiser in support of Canadians with cystic fibrosis held in locations across Canada.

This year’s event saw 20 riders ride their bikes and classic cars from Brandon, to Rivers, Sandy Lake, Rapid City, and back to Brandon.  The weather mostly cooperated, though the post-event festivities had some rain.

Congratulations to Brenda Hales, who won the $500 poker derby; and Rick Reimer, who won the raffle for the Harley Davidson watch. Thanks to all riders and volunteers for supporting this great event to support Canadians with cystic fibrosis.

Race Day – 2013 Soap Box Derby

What a great day for a race!  The weather cooperated, and Adam drove the Kinsmen Soap Box car in the Kiwanis Kar Derby today.  There was a little car trouble on the final run, but Adam did get one good run down the hill.  It turned out to be a fun event, and Adam received a nice package of mementos.  Thanks to the Kiwanis and volunteers for putting on the event.
