Hollister 2006: Better Warn Them Not to Come
Article by Brandon Bailey of the Contra Costa Times on the Hollister motorcycle rally. Last week the city council voted down a final proposal from a promotional company from Florida to run the 2006 rally and promise the city a profit of $300,000. Despite the willingness of Biker Designs of Daytona to take on financial liability for the event, and assure coverage of security and medical liability of the rally, the proposal was rejected.As is pointed out in the article, unless the city goes out of its way and spends some money to hang out the "unwelcome" sign, odds are pretty good that one hell of a lot of bikers will find their way to Hollister for the event that's been an annual rite of the season for many years. While this surety will certainly be welcome by the local businesses that always benefit from the rally, it may be more than ironic for the city which will be out on their own this year covering the overhead costs of managing the large crowd.
