Motorcycles gleam in hot fair afternoon
Twenty shiny bikes were on display on the fairgrounds’ midway Saturday on one of the final days of the Chase County Fair.
People walking the midway stopped to view the row of bikes, despite the heat, and had the opportunity to vote for the People’s Choice winner.
That honor went to Dwight Coleman of Imperial with his 2019 Indian Vintage Chief, quite the eye-catcher in its sky blue over pearl metallic color with leather seats and saddlebags.
