The Women Ride, Women Build motorcycle ride and Rosie the Riveter Costume Contest was a huge success over the weekend (Feb 27, 2021). More than 40 bikes, plus passengers, rode in and around Hart County before descending on The Boathouse Grill next to Hartwell Marina on beautiful Lake Hartwell. This fun, women-centric event was kick-off to the 2021 Habitat for Humanity International Women Build Week, powered by Lowe's Home Improvement, and scheduled for March 8-13.
Riders were treated to Boathouse chili and great comradery, along with the opportunity to win a number of special raffle prizes. Highlight of the day was the Rosie the Riveter Costume Contest. As a World War II symbol of the strength and important contributions of women, Rosie is the perfect image for Saturday's event. Please see photos of contestants and winners attached. Rosie's Peoples' Choice Award was a tie between Ki Re (l), a lady rider from Greenville, SC, and Mary Ann Callahan(r) from Athens, GA, whose favorite hobby is "anything motorcycle." Prize for the award is a photo shoot and article in the Ready2Ride Motorcycle Magazine of Athens. These ladies wowed the judges as well. Mary Ann won the Best Costume prize for a cash prize, along with best Rosie Pose for an official Rosie basket of goodies. Ki Re placed second in both. Rosie's all in a row are: (l-r) Shirley Kowalski, Julian (Jewelz) Hayes, Shawna (Sky) Watkins, Ki Re, Mary Ann, and Ruth LeRoy. |
