Cave Spring Motorcycle Rally this weekend

- STAFF REPORT

That sound you hear in Floyd County, Ga., this weekend is Southern rock music and revving motorcycle­s.

The fourth annual Cave Spring Motorcycle Rally and Music Festival takes place Friday and Saturday, July 29-30. The rally site is three miles north of town on Highway 411. Proceeds benefit the Cave Spring Downtown Developmen­t Authority.

Several area bands are set to perform. Headlining Friday night is the Jeff Rogers Band, with The Band Stringfiel­d and Taylor Cromer & The Delta opening the show. Saturday promises a Champagne Jam featuring Andy Anderson, former vocalist › Where: › Admission: › Phone: › Website: for Atlanta Rhythm Section, and special guest Artimus Pyle, a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame drummer from Lynyrd Skynyrd. Whiskey Dixie and South of Heaven will open.

Saturday also includes a morning poker run and afternoon bike show. A women’s Boots & Dukes contest Saturday evening will crown winners in three age divisions. The Christian Motorcycli­sts Associatio­n will conduct a biker church service Sunday morning. A General Lee show car from “Dukes of Hazzard” fame will be on-site for viewing.

Food and merchandis­e vendors will be set up throughout the weekend, but organizers announced a BYOB policy earlier this week. A Facebook post says the beer vendor missed the permit deadline to pour at the rally, so those attending must bring their own.
