OGRES 2023 Annual Valentines Day Dinner


Photographs and text by guest blogger Vice President RipCity. Enjoy.




 The evening could not have been better! Most everyone arrived early before the official 6 PM starting time. Upon arrival, G-Man was busy polishing the Clubhouse floor, exotic automobiles and all sides of the Clubhouse/Bar.

This night was special and everyone in attendance was impressed with the extra care that was taken. Even the grease pit was tidy.

The bar was covered with wonderful munchies, veggies and beverages provided by Mrs. VP. There was even spittoon on the floor by the bar for the ruffians in the crowd.

G-Man (aka Dick Clark) turned on the vintage malt shop juke box and the party really started. Warmth from the cold outside, music, eats and verrrrry cool four wheeled cars created OGRES MC heaven.








At 6:45 PM, OGRES members and their brides headed over to the Sockeye Grill railroad car for dinner. The RR car was all ours to enjoy with no interlopers. Big thanks to G-Man for making the arrangements for this very special venue.

In attendance were: Rowdy and Diane, Gundy and Joy, G-Man and Sheri, Bomber, RipCity and Stephanie and Mrs. B, Smooth and Pat, 

Those not in attendance: Duke and Pam, Krome and Sonja, Slick and Julie and Grim and Jeannelle.

Those absent were sadly missed and we paused for a moment of silence.






The waitress was great and the railroad car was a wonderful piece of heaven. The event epitomized the foundation for what the OGRES Motorcycle Club stands for: Real Trusting Friendships (RTF). The event was well organized for creating great memories and maximum fun.







Each table was totally engrossed in intense conversation. Everyone was participating. It was a happy evening. Some attendees were even taught to make a worm out of a straw tube and, rudely, some folks spit-balled their straw cover at other combatants. The humor reached a new low when someone stuffed a straw cover in RipCity's nostrils. The result was actually an improvement.
 






Everyone had a chance of photo opportunities doing what they do best...Acting like kids while their children aren't present.

The food was excellent and time seemed to fly while the low cost of the event was a pleasant surprise. Surprise...anti-inflationary...about $15 bucks each. (Editors note: a good thing since OMC members are SO hurting for cash.)

Thanks to G-Man, Grim and Stephanie for their efforts to make this event such a smash.












Edited slightly by Grim, who noticed that the photos are in reverse chronological order upon finishing his editing. Adventurous reading for all.
