The second annual Kosciusko County Pride Ride is Saturday at Kosciusko County 4-H Fairgrounds.
Registration will be from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the fairgrounds. The ride starts at 1 p.m.
The cost for the ride is $15 per rider and $5 per passenger.
The ride is to help raise funds for the 9/11 memorial monument that was placed outside Center Lake Pavilion in Central Park last November, according to Gordon Baker, ride co-chair.
Baker said there still needs to be landscaping and sidewalk work completed for the memorial.
There were 73 riders who participated in last year's ride and raised $1,900 for the 9/11 memorial, he said.
The memorial has the names engraved of Harold Shepler, Joseph Bauer, Phillip Hochstetler and Jason Beal, who lost their lives in the line of duty.
Motorcycle groups American Bikers Aimed Toward Education, American Legion Riders, Indiana Patriot Guard Riders and the Christian Motorcycle Association will participate in this year's ride.
There will be food vendors available Saturday.
Two bands, A Sick World, an '80s oldies rock band from Fort Wayne, and Backwater, a country band from Huntington, will perform after the ride at the fairgrounds from 6 to 10 p.m.
