In order to raise funds for the Marietta fireworks display set for Friday, July 4, a motorcycle ride was held on May 3, during which 33 riders embarked on a scenic 45-mile journey through the picturesque landscapes of Lancaster County.

The ride was followed by a pig roast meal, served at Molly's Courtyard Cafe of Marietta. The food was donated by the Lions Club of Marietta, which also helped with setup and serving. Members of the Marietta Legion Riders Post 466 also donated essential items such as plates, utensils, drinks, rolls and chips, while also volunteering their time for the registration and helping with setup.

Rick and Sue Keath prepared the pig roast and contributed an array of side dishes, including macaroni and cheese, baked beans, coleslaw, chocolate chip cookies and brownies.

Molly and Nate, the owners of Molly's Courtyard Cafe, opened their doors to provide a comfortable and inviting venue for the meal, and the Marietta Pioneer Fire Company provided chairs for seating.
