They gave an ATV party and noone came...

Sue Drum writing to Northwoods Citizens for Environmental Stewardship visited Eagle River to watch the ATV parade last week. I posted the letter in quietnorth Archives (link above), but here is the money quote:

Dear Northwoods Citizens for Responsible Stewardship,

Saturday, June 22, I had a heart-warming ATV experience. I drove to Eagle River to observe the 9:00 a.m. ATV parade down main street. Remembering a similar ATV parade last year led by Frank Tremmel with positive ATV press coverage, I figured this parade would be a major event. They had the perfect set-up, sponsored by Randy Harden’s WATVA and Randy Harden’s NOHVIS insurance group, and riding for the charity, Angel On My Shoulder, a non-profit organization that helps those afflicted with cancer.

Guess What? They threw a parade and nobody came. About 20 people, shopping on main street stopped to watch. As they turned the corner and returned up the side street just off main street, not a soul could be seen on either side of the street..."

" Once more Vilas County residents and visitors showed that they had no interest in welcoming ATVs."
