Robert Marquez of Grants was the other big winner Saturday evening when Mrs. Fire and Ice drew his ticket as the winner of the Mainstreet Bike Giveaway as her first official duty.

Rally attendees receive tickets to the drawing with paid admission to the Budweiser Pavillion on either Friday or Saturday. The Harley Davidson motorcycle is shown below.

Threatening thunderstorms Saturday moved the rally crowd under the big tent where they were entertained by Foghat, the featured band of the evening. With more than 2000 fans, it was the best crowd ever under the tent according to Donald Jaramillo, Fire and Ice Bike Rally Chairman.
