Thank you SO MUCH!!
Thank you to everyone who's made Hog and Rod a success for five years. Wow - what a way to end things!! Fantastic crowd, incredible dinner, and a full night of outstanding music.
We couldn't have asked for anything better - except sunshine for the Show and Shine.
It's with a great deal of sadness that the committee brings this event to an end. But who knows - from the ashes of what's come before, maybe something new will be born.
It's been a fun journey, and we're all glad we could share it with you. The memories will stay with us all forever.
IT IS HERE !!!!

Yes, we've already started making plans for Hog and Rod 2008 - our 5th annual rally! The Sensational Hot Rods will be returning - and their new show is phenomenal! And opening for them? STREAMLINE! This is a show you will NOT want to miss.
Watch for updates as we get closer to the event.
The History of Hog and Rod
The concept of Hog and Rod began as an idea of a couple of people. With the help of some dedicated individuals the idea has since come to life. It is our goal to bring custom motorcycle, classic car and Hot Rod enthusiasts together for a combined rally for all to enjoy. It is not intended to select any one make of car or motorcycle over another. Hog and Rod is to be an annual event for all to come together in the heart of Northwestern Ontario and enjoy!
