Thunder Beach is NOT CANCELED!
Alabama Radio makes a mistake.
|
|
To all of our friends in Alabama that listen to the radio or have heard by word of mouth, THUNDER BEACH IS NOT CANCELED! We have received numerous phone calls over the past week from concerned Bikers that the rally was not taking place this year. We are actually stronger than ever and are looking for the largest rally we have ever had matched with a dramatic increase in attendance from both riders and vendors!
It seems that the powerboat race on the coast called Thunder on the Gulf has been canceled and a couple of radio stations and a few of its listeners got things mixed up. Thunder Beach is most certainly taking place and it will be the biggest and best Rally the Gulf Coast has ever seen! |

What The Heck is a Twitter?
Get Rally Updates on your phone in real time! |
 Some of you may already know what Twitter is, but for those that don't, here's the scoop. Twitter is a social networking and mini blog that allows us to send out the latest rally info directly to our website, our Twitter page and directly to your phone. Prior to the Rally we may make a few posts every day or every couple of days, but when the Rally starts, you can expect updates every 15 or 20 minutes with the latest info about things going on during the Rally. Combined with the Schedule of Events in our Thunder Beach Event Magazine, it's a great way to stay on top of exactly what's going on during the rally!
You have to be a member of Twitter but it's a free service and very easy to sign up. Once you're signed up, start following Thunder Beach to get the latest Rally Info sent directly to your phone!
As with the Twitter posts during the rally we will also be making constant photo posts on Flickr! |
