THANK YOU to everyone who came out to last night's Champagne Party and helped make it a success!
For today's #365daysofkegelhd we throwback to a write-up that the Rockford Labor News wrote after the inaugural event, held in 1984:
The folks at Kegel Motorcycle Company, 3833 Auburn st., invited area motorcycling enthusiasts to attend a gala pre-holiday champagne and cheese party to help get them in the spirit of the annual Christmas shopping season.
To assist their special customers with their shopping lists, Kegel's had on hand an array of gift ides - ranging all the way from newest model Harley-Davidsons and BMW's to custom leather goods, clothing, cycling accessories and jewelry.
Photos made during the shoppers' party show:
