The 33rd annual MDA Ride comes to the LaPorte County Fairgrounds on Aug. 24, held by Region 2 ABATE of Indiana. According to Don Hewitt – more commonly known as Bear – the event really begins Friday night with a party held for those who helped set up at the fairgrounds.
“Actually it starts Friday night. What we do is we charge $5 a person for everybody Friday night to just help cover the charge of the DJ and stuff like that. It started off as just a thank-you for the people that helped set up, but it’s grown into a party for Friday night,” said Bear.
