A Memorial Motorcycle Ride kicked off this morning from Rexroth Park in Lower Windsor Township. Riders will end their trip at the York Fairgrounds where a number of events are planned. The ride and other events, including raffles, games and live music, are part of the Officer David A.

The kids will enjoy a Bounce House, smoke house, face painting, May Day Games and an air ambulance helicopter display.
