“We are providing free shipping for visitors who purchase a bike during their stay,” Kinnard mentioned. “We’re located just a few exits from Lambeau Field, so we are gearing up for the arrival of many Harley Davidson fans.”

“We’re hearing from other local businesses that there might be last-minute bookings, so we are just waiting to see what comes up as the draft approaches,” Kinnard added.

Regardless of the developments, a full team effort will be necessary, both inside for the motorcycle enthusiasts and outside for the cooking grills.
