<P class=MsoNormal style="TEXT-ALIGN: center" align=center>
<P class=MsoNormal>Located approximately 40 miles north of Salt Lake City nestled at the base of the majestic Wasatch Mountain range is Ogden, Utah, site of the Gathering of the Guard 2009.
<P class=MsoNormal>
<P class=MsoNormal>The Gathering of the Guard 2009 planning committee has organized the best and most meaningful event possible to make this “<B><I>A Weekend to Remember!</I></B>” We are offering you an experience that will further validate the mission of PGR while providing a fun and enjoyable vacation. With national and local sponsorships, as well as support of the local community, proceeds from this event will be donated to PGR and the Help on the HomeFront (HOTH) Program.
<P class=MsoNormal>
<P class=MsoNormal>The dates for this event were intentionally selected to capitalize on Utah’s mild summer climate, beautiful mountain views, and some of the best motorcycle riding routes in the country. Not coincidentally, this event occurs immediately before opening day at the Sturgis Rally. If you are planning to attend Sturgis, GOTG should be your first stop. Leaving Sunday morning, August 2, you will arrive in Sturgis in time for the official opening.
<P class=MsoNormal>
<P class=MsoNormal>There will be plenty of activities for every member of the family. Here are just a few of the plans for this event:
