Natchez didn’t welcome H.O.G. rally

I am from Louisiana and very disappointed that Natchez doesn’t seem to support the H.O.G. Rally that as in your city last weekend.

This rally is very big every year and brings money into your city and state.

H.O.G. officials made the comment that they could not get any volunteers to help with the rally.

I just think this could be bigger and better for Natchez.

I also noticed that Natchez was more interested in advertising the balloon race. I noticed a large banner reaching across the street advertising the balloon race, and I did not see one advertising the rally or welcoming the H.O.G.s.

They could have at least waited until after the rally to put up the banner for the balloon race.

I also want to thank the few business that did go all out to welcome the bikers. They did a great job and made us feel welcome.

I do hope the H.O.G. organization will think long and hard before they consider having another rally in Natchez.
