April 14th will be the 14th annual Moonshine Lunch Run. As Terry said many times, the MLR wouldn't happen without the moonshine store and the Tuttle Family. As many of you know, the Tuttle family has suffered tragic loss recently. The Moonshine family lives through their store and have been operating a successful business for many years now. It's an entire family effort that many members of the family give a lot to make the store run. With that being said, when there is loss, its hard to keep on keeping on. The MLR has been the store's largest event for the past few years and it takes a lot of effort to make it successful. Lots of friends and family help, lots of volunteers come to help and lots of motorcycles come to enjoy other bikes, people and eat a moonburger. I want to make sure everyone hears this, Moonshine store is NOT closing.......but the Moonshine Lunch Run needs to come to an end. There is a lot of emotions that we all have during this event with the absence of the founder Terry Hammond. Also there are tons of emotions that happen with the absence of family members of the Tuttle Family. I personally believe that if Terry were here now and could talk with the moonshine family, he would agree that its time for the MLR to be over. They say all good things come to an end. Now, in honor and respect of Terry, I can't see the the MLR can change to a different location or really change at all. So I will not continue the Moonshine Lunch Run after this year. The 14th annual will be the last MLR. This event has become a great event for our small communities and organizations. I ask that everyone share that the MLR is ending and lets make the last year the biggest!!! This has been a tough decision to make and it was made be several people so I ask that you all respect the decision made by the many people involved.

 
That makes me and I am sure most other members of this forum incredibly sad. I am very sorry to hear of the Tuttle familie's situation and will be sure to attend the final MLR this year. On the plus side this will make it easier for me to pull the trigger and attend next year's MotoGP event in Austin.
