Returning to the Allenton Annual Picnic Parade, Aug. 20 – 21, this year will be the Tripoli Shriners Long Riders.
Tripoli’s Long Riders were organized in 1986, when Noble Hans Gerlach built and donated the “Long Bike” to the Temple.
The “Bike” is 97-feet long, and seats 36 Nobles.
This unit is very popular in parades around Wisconsin and the country, and has been as far away as Canada and the West Coast, showing off Tripoli Temple to the world.
It was even featured on a Japanese TV show.
