Thunder rolls in the Northwoods:
Enjoy Tomahawk’s
36th Fall Ride for MDA
By the Tomahawk Leader
When a small group of friends set out to view the
spectacular fall colors that abound in the greater Tomahawk
area this time of year 36 years ago little did they realize what
their get-together would grow into decades later.
A few more friends have joined the ride since then – and
now tens of thousands of motorcycle enthusiasts converge
in Tomahawk each September for the Fall Ride, one of the
biggest and most anticipated motorcycle rallies in northern
Wisconsin and beyond.
This year the open road leads to town Sept. 14-17, with
some activities even earlier.
The Tomahawk Leader newspaper is proud to provide you
with this Official Guide of Fall Ride events and well-wishes
from advertisers who will eagerly welcome and serve you.
The Tomahawk Fall Ride is one of the largest
motorcycle gatherings in the state and the biggest fundraiser
for the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) in northern
Wisconsin. The venue has raised millions of dollars for
families living with neuromuscular diseases since 1983,
when organizers began donating to MDA. Monies raised
during the Tomahawk Ride provide care for clients and
expanded research.
MDA raffles a brand new Harley-Davidson motorcycle
as a fundraiser. Tickets are sold throughout the Northwoods
by MDA and all proceeds benefit them.
Keep in mind that Tomahawk’s SARA Park on West
Somo Avenue is the only location where 100% of the
proceeds benefit MDA.
Once again, Tomahawk’s Wurl-Feind-Ingman VFW
Post 2687 will handle guardianship of the downtown
Tomahawk festivities. That focus will be on veterans, with a
M*A*S*H theme from the hit TV series adding to the fun.
New this year is a M*A*S*H Blood Drive on Thursday.
There’s also a M*A*S*H Trivia Contest with prizes (see the
questions elsewhere in this book).
Bubba’s Tribute Party in Nokomis (remembering the late
Bubba Troutman who died earlier this year) offers a full slate
of big-name musical entertainment and vendors along with
variety, like Human “Zorb” Bowling, Classic Car and Hot Rod
Show and Biker Butt Contest. There’s also a daily Pancake
Breakfast served by the Nokomis Fire Department and church
services through the Christian Motorcycle Association.
Many other establishments throughout Tomahawk and
the surrounding Northwoods have additional live music
during the long weekend. Look for live music listings inside
this Guide.

enjoy all that is taking place this weekend. Inside you’ll
find information on the many events and some interesting
places to visit. There are also details on where proceeds
from the Fall Ride go, and Ride history.
Whether this is your first Fall Ride or your 15th or 36th,
there’s one thing that never changes. The excitement can
literally be felt as the rumble of motorcycles fills the air,
telling stories of steel horse journeys ending and new ones
just getting underway.
You may come to enjoy good times, to take part in
scenic rides, to help raise money for a good cause and/or
just to spend some quality time reuniting with family and
friends. The reason doesn’t matter. But we’re glad you’re
here! Thank you for being part of and helping celebrate
another Fall Ride in Tomahawk. Please take note of our
community and come back again sometime soon.

Fall Ride proceeds
making big difference
for MDA
By Jennifer Ruid
Tomahawk Leader Reporter
The Fall Ride in Tomahawk brings thousands of
motorcycle enthusiasts to the area. It is a gathering filled with
parties, entertainment, vendors and activities! However, at the
center of the big event is the primary goal, which is raising
money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA).
The MDA is an American organization that combats
muscular dystrophy and diseases of the nervous system and
muscular system by funding research, providing medical
and community services, and educating health professionals
and the general public.
“The mission of the MDA is to find treatments and
cures for patients and families. The Muscular Dystrophy
Association wants to improve the quality of life for our
families,” said Lauren Nelsen, MDA fundraising coordinator,
Green Bay. “We are so grateful for the donations we receive
from the Fall Ride. Those monies have made an amazing

difference. The money raised amounts to something. It
really means something,”
Since 1983, the Fall Ride has graciously donated
proceeds to the MDA, and those proceeds have contributed
to research and progress seen over the years.
“We have seen so much exciting progress with three
new FDA-approved drugs in the past 10 months, and the
Tomahawk Fall Ride attendees and supporters at SARA
Park have a lot to do with that,” said Nelsen.
This past year, for the first time ever, there have been
three MDA-funded, FDA-approved medications developed
specifically for neuromuscular diseases. Two of the drugs
have been approved for Duchenne muscular dystrophy
(DMD) and one for Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA).
“The Fall Ride continues to be the biggest fundraiser
in north central Wisconsin, and the money raised in this area
stays in this area. There are so many activities and so much
entertainment scheduled at SARA Park which is wonderful
because SARA Park is the only location where 100 percent
of the proceeds from the event go directly to the MDA,”
added Nelsen.
Where else does the money go?
