More than 200 people were in attendance for the Blues for Hospice and Bike and Poker Run held recently at the War Vets on Fluvanna Avenue in Jamestown. Charlie Clark, coordinator of the event, presented Hospice Chautauqua County with a check for $1,860. This makes a grand total for four years of more than $7,000.
According to Clark, the activities throughout the day kept motorcycle enthusiasts and blues fans entertained, and he was grateful to the War Vets Committee for hosting the festival.
"The community was thankful for the opportunity of spending a day that was centered on the entire family, while at the same time, benefiting one of our community's greatest assets, Hospice Chautauqua County," he said.
