SEATTLE COSSACKS
Big Bike Weekend welcomes back the Seattle Cossacks. No ropes, no props, no skyhooks, no gimmicks-they just climb. How can they do that on motorcycles? The crowd bursts into cheers and applause as the team glides past. The stunts, motorcycles (and the applause) have been going on for over 70 years - all on vintage Harley-Davidson motorcycles of the 30's and 40's. Exclusive performances will take place at the Redding Convention Center on Friday and Saturday.

Bleachers After-Hours Party
Saturday Night After Hours Party at Bleachers, 2167 Hilltop Drive. Don't worry about the weather--the party will be inside! Come early and grab a burger, fish and chips, or a tasty little treat. There's ample parking for bikes and scooters in the back. At 7:30 p.m. music from Evolution will have you on the dance floor. Dancing not your thing? Then grab a cue and jump in on one of the billiard tables or head to the mini arcade. See you at Bleachers!
