An Opportunity to “Ride For The Roof” and to Enjoy a Pig Roast
Everyone who enjoys motorcycling or a pig roast and contributing to a good cause should mark Saturday, August 2nd on their calendar. Proceeds from the “Ride For The Roof” will be donated for a new roof on the Peru Community Church Fellowship Center. Experienced Road Captain Rick Lawrence will lead the cycles on a 100-mile ride through the Adirondacks. A pig roast for the riders and local community with all the fixings will follow at the Fellowship Center. You do not have to ride to attend the pig roast; it’s a family affair.
Registration with free donuts and coffee for riders are at 9 AM at Livingoods Restaurant. Rev. Robert Svenson and Rev. Alan Shnob will have a “Blessing of the Bikes” before kickstands go up at 10AM. The 1 to 5 PM pig roast will include music by Peru’s own DJ Don “Yo” McBrayer, raffles and a silent auction.
Tickets will be on sale at registration, at the pig roast or in advance by contacting Polly Lake at 643-8214, Faith Long at 569-9387 or Rick Lawrence at 802-323-6403. You can also email plake1@charter.net. The cost is $40 ($30 if paid in advance) for bike, rider and pig roast and $25 for passengers and non-riders.

Fabulous article Mr. John T. Ryan, for a very worthy cause. Thanks so very much for publishing this article for not only the Peru Community, but for the whole North Country. Like the article states, the Fellowship Center is used by many different people from all over the Clinton, Essex and Franklin counties. Like the old saying goes, “many hands make for light work”, “many contributors make for less debtors”!!! It’s all Good!!
