Tribute to the Tohono O'odham Nation's Veterans

A sincere thanks and much appreciation go out to all the riders who participated in the 71st Annual Tohono O'odham Nation Rodeo and Fair Parade!! We would like to to say thanks to the GRPD Motor Units for their representation of Gila River's Finest and for leading the way. Also we'd like to express a great deal of thanks to the Hemajkam Riders, which consist of riders from the Gila And Salt River Indian Communities.

Overall, the morning was excellent! We had perfect riding weather, which made for an awesome day to ride and pay tribute to the T.O. Nation's Veterans and Community. The parade had over 80+ entries and the parade route was spectacular as many in attendance were excited to have seen and heard us participate. As we made our way through the parade route through Sells, the local radio station, 91.9 KOHN FM got to broadcast the sound of our engines as we rolled through, that was cool!!

We capped the day with a terrific lunch provided in the Veteran's Center in Sells. Thanks to Eva and the T.O. Veterans and the blessed hands for helping to provide a great meal, it was delicious. We can't wait to come back !!
