PANGUITCH OLD SKOOL MOTORCYCLE RALLY 2024

2025 Rally News  

Another year has come, and it has had some adversity. In December we were notified that we could no longer use the Fairgrounds for the Rally. The Garfield County Sheriff had gone before the City Council and the County Commissioners in closed door meetings and informed them our Rally has become a danger to the health and safety of the citizens of the town of Panguitch. I was quite shocked to say the least, as far as I know no one attending the Rally has even received a traffic ticket let alone been arrested and charged for any crime, so it is hard to imagine how we could be such a threat.  

I protested his decision which fell on deaf ears with two out of the three County Commissioners, so a group of our local business owners along with a large group of our supporters and some of our Sponsors descended upon the City Council at the January meeting and it seemed that we were successful in changing their mind however the Sheriff still refused to sign our permit application instead he denied the application. The local citizens have given us their full support as they love this rally. 

He is allowed to stop us from using County and City property, but he cannot stop us from using private property, so I had to come up with a new location for the Rally which was difficult however we have been very successful in that endeavor.  

The new location is going to be awesome; it is the QUALITY INN just 6 miles south of Panguitch on Hwy. 89. The hotel has 80 rooms, and the owners also own the Roadway Inn and 20 camper cabins just a mile away on Hwy. 12. They are excited to host the event and there is lots of room to accommodate the entire rally.  

Reserve rooms by calling KP at 435-263-8923 and be sure to tell him you are with the Old Skool MC Rally for a 15% discount, he is also handling reservation for all 3 properties. The best part of this arrangement is that your motel room will be at the rally itself.  

We are going to add another event this year to our schedule, it will be a Show and Shine on Friday starting at 5:00pm. There will be trophies for Best of Show, Bikers Choice, Ladies Choice, Best Trike and 2 Sponsors Picks. Presentation of the trophies will be at 7:30 pm. 

All our normal events will also be going on as usual. I am putting the posters and brochures together now and as soon as they are printed, I will get them distributed and posted on the website. The Rally dates are July 10th thru 13th. Bands every day, self guided mapped out rides, Show and Shine Friday, Poker Run on Saturday morning, followed by Biker Games and Drawings. The Drawing Bike for this year is a custom built and painted beautiful  chopper, I will be posting pictures on website soon. There will be our normal vendors along with at least 2 food vendors on site as well. 

I want to say THANK YOU to all of our GREAT BIKER COMMUNITY  for your past support as well as your continued support and hope that this years Rally will be our biggest ever. Please invite all your friends and help us to be able to continue this event and not let the opposition from one person stop us from being free to gather and celebrate our AMERICAN TRADITION riding motorcycles in our beautiful Country. 

See you at the Rally:   Steve
