The Montevideo American Legion is currently planning a series of motorcycle and classic car roll-ins for this summer, with the idea of providing those riders and drivers with an opportunity to partake in a fun event without having to travel far. The group came up with the idea, as there is a similar event held over an hour away in Wabasso regularly. American Legion member Everett Bain and his wife Cheryl have traveled to Wabasso for a similar event, but noted how dangerous the route can be to drive, especially after dark on a motorcycle.
