What better place to celebrate the Harley-Davidson Homecoming this July than at Wisconsin’s oldest dealership? Uke’s Harley-Davidson in Kenosha is celebrating its own 95th anniversary this year. For the Harley-Davidson Homecoming, the dealership has a full lineup of events and activities planned at its location off the Interstate, July 9-13. To welcome all the riders here for the celebration and to encourage them to explore the area, free community events have been planned.
A Poker Run for the Harley riders will take place July 3-13. This is a self-guided, scenic tour throughout Kenosha County with a chance for riders to enter the Poker Run Raffle. There are 12 checkpoints at locations around the county. Riders are instructed to scan the Poker Run QR code with their phone to check in at each stop. When they submit their contact information, they are entered for a chance to win one of 10 gift baskets valued at $100+. (Must be 18 years of age or older to enter. No purchase necessary.)
Poker Run Stops include: Visit Kenosha – Downtown Visitor Information Center, Visit Kenosha – Wisconsin Welcome Center – Kenosha, Hansen Park Beer Garden, Uke’s Harley-Davidson, Kenosha Public Museum, Bristol Woods Park, Brighton Dale Park, Petrifying Springs Park, Kemper Center, Kenosha Beach House on Simmons Island, Brat Stop, and Mars Cheese Castle.
