Logan County, Bellefontaine, OH, July 25, 2008. Does history repeat itself every couple of centuries? Read this report and decide for yourself!
Fifteen Hundred light-bedecked motorcycles roared down Main Street in Bellefontaine, OH last night to begin the 2008 Honda Homecoming, now renamed Rally at the Peak. We and thousands of others watched the dazzling light parade under the stars and under a garrison-size American Flag suspended on a steel cable 100 feet in the air between two hook & ladder fire trucks.
It was the most horsepower to go through this Logan County community since Blue Jacket, a local Native American Leader, left to fight in the Battle of Falling Timbers in 1794. Just nine years later, Ohio's first Supreme Court Justices began riding the circuit. They may have known Chief Blue Jacket personally.
When we rode through Union county and then into Bellefontaine, Matt Chamberlain, our Stratton For Supreme Court County Coordinator, swung into action. Within 30 minutes we were interviewed by a reporter from the Bellefontaine Examiner newspaper and, then, Pete was interviewed live on WPKO-FM radio!
Today, we road back to Logan County to attend the Rally at the Peak Vendor Expo and to admire and pay homage to the Ohio Flags of Honor that were displayed on Campbell Hill, the highest point in Ohio. The Ohio Flags of Honor traveling display was created to pay tribute to all the Ohio men and women who have died serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. The memorial now consists of more than 500 U.S. flags
And today there is only one Indian Chief left in Bellefontaine proudly sitting for all to see on Campbell Hill . . . an unrestored 1947 Indian Chief Motorcycle that was last used by the Logan County Sheriff's Office in the 1950's. This last of the great Logan County Indian Chiefs is owned today by Matt Chamberlain, Logan County Captain for Circuit Riders For Stratton!
Maybe history does repeat itself . . . . Ride Safe! . . . . Ride On!
