Kaz Mamon and his costumed band of motorcycle riders return, Oct. 30.
Activities include free lunch at Mesquite Creek in Independence Township, 11 a.m., Saturday Oct 30, with face painting and snacks.
The Maman Ride meets at Bullfrog’s in Ortonville, 10 a.m., and is set to arrive at Mesquite Creek at 1 p.m.
Rain date is Oct. 31.
‘Hear the sound of thunder as the bikes come over the I-75 bridge towards the Creek,? Mamon said. ‘Just seeing those smiles on the kids faces, make doing the ride enough, but when you personally give them goodies, and talk with them, as we trick or treat, brings tears to your eyes.
Mamon establsihed the ride nine years ago to help children with special needs enjoy the Halloween holiday.
‘We took action and asked our friends who ride, to do something that would not only make these kids day special but ours too,? he said. ‘We would gather our outfits, not just leather, but TV characters, cartoon people and ride our Harley’s, and BMW, Hondas, and together, we’d show the kids just how much we care.?
