On Saturday July 12th 2014 seven members of chapter 2 and three friend of the knights met up at the Wawa at 10 & 30 in Parkesburg at 7am, today's ride was to the Pa. Pump Primer in Harrisburg.

Before heading to Harrisburg members and guest traveled to the Bart Fire Company for their monthly breakfast, if you never been to Bart Breakfast it said to be one of the best in the area with most if not all of its food fresh from the Amish community.

After a great breakfast it was off to Harrisburg the Pa. Pump Primer is do along the Susquehanna River in Riverfront Park off of front street. We arrived there around 930am early enough to check out many of the antique and fire memorabilia collectors along the river selling things.

At 10am the parade of apparatus started lining the river and taking over the park. Units along the river quickly set up and started pulling drafts and charging their master streams making a unbelievable sight along to river front.

After a few hours it was time to head out members split up at this point with some heading to Gettysburg Bike Week and others heading home, all in all it was a great ride a great day along the river.
