Horicon Reunion makes the local newspaper

Post by harleysportster »

A news reporter from the Horicon Reporter, a local newspaper, was at the Renunion and had interviewed Joe Wanie( aka Horicon Joe) and had taken several pictures including one of my cyclone. The pictures and Joe's interview were in Thursdays, 2/26/2009 newspaper. I had a copy sent to me.

Thanks for posting pictures. I am told that there was a very excited 91 year old great grandmother when she saw this.

Grandma was very excited. She said she didn't want the attention, but took the paper over to Mayville to show all her friends at "card club". She loved every minute!
Joe-she'd run circle around you with that Trailfire!
