Hello,
I am on the planning committee for Dayton Valley Days. Last year The Silent Riders, participated in the event. Your organization was a fantastic addition to the event! This year is going to be much bigger and much better planned. Dayton Chamber Of Commmerce has taken the reigns on the planning. The event will be be focused more on Daytons early history. We would be honored by having The Silent Riders for the event! It will be Sept. 17-18. Thank you so much for last year! I hope you can make it this year!

Hello Folks it's Matt!
I just wanted to say how grateful I am for the Silent Rider's warm hospitality bestowed upon me yesterday. I went into a saloon in the afternoon and ended up spending a grand time with you folks well into the evening. Some of the folks I met were Scott, Ernie, Dylan, Lisa, Tammy & the "Mayor". There were lot's others but I can't remember all the names. You all love history as much as I do and I can't tell you how fun it was to hang out with you all! I have gone a few places wearin' my stuff and not one club has ever been so welcoming especially to a California Tourist, lol. Anyway it was hell of a lot of fun and please tell Scott I have now taken up the expensive habit of cigars to add to my vices, thanks pardner lol.
