Annual Rally Raffle Underway

OLEAN -- The Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce and the Olean Area Motorcycle Enthusiasts are raffling off a 2010 Harley Davidson Dyna Wide Glide, black with flames during the 8th Annual Rally in the Valley motorcycle event in August.

After a year's absence, the wide glide returns to the 2010 H-D lineup as one of four newer revised models introduced in the standard 2010 production line. The 2010 Dyna Wide Glide looks smoking' hot in its vivid black with flames color combo. The pulse of the Wide Glide is provided by a 1584cc, air-cooled Twin Cam 96 engine. Tommy Gun 2-1-2 exhausts replace the dual staggered shorty pipes of old and emit note at speed.

Tickets are available for a chance to win the Dyna Wide Glide and second prize of a Krish Enclosed Two Bike Trailer. The tickets are $20 with a limit of 2,000 tickets to be sold. The drawing will be announced on Sunday, August 29. The motorcycle was partially sponsored by Larry's Sport Center, Galeton, PA. Tickets are available to purchase before the event at the Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce, Poor Cow Leather, at the Home Show, the Taste of Olean and Gus Macker, various Rally committee members and during the Rally event.

The Rally Committee is spearheaded by Dennis Jones, Randy Langdon, Larry Penman, and Dan Jordan. “Through the 7th annual Rally in the Valley, we have been able to give more than $100,000.00 to local charities,” said Rally Co-Chair Dennis Jones. The charities that will benefit this year include CARes - Council on Addiction Recovery Services, Inc.; the Dempsey Club; Olean Airport Support Group; Southern Tier Military Support; the ReHabilitation Center; and Rebuilding Together.
