You can find the latest info at the new Hodaka Days website courtesy of the organizing committee headed up by Gregg Floren.
BENEFIT AUCTION
The Hodaka folks are organizing an auction to benefit the local history area and collection at a new Athena Library, a project spearheaded by Athena Library Friends Association (ALFA) to host this auction. You will even be able to use your VISA card! A recent development is that one of library benefit auction items will be a Hodaka engine built as specified by the buyer by Roger Lippiatt with parts contributed by Paul Stannard. Another item is a round trip flight between Pasco and Vegas donated by Allegiant Air. The auction will take place in the park Saturday evening starting about 8 pm. Anyone with contributions of Hodaka mementoes, parts, etc. is welcome to donate and will receive a tax deduction receipt.
