Gas Prices Killing the Rally?
Posted
August 11, 2008 at 3:48 PM
The
Sturgis
Motorcycle
Rally
is
an
annual
event
that
brings
in
a
lot
of
revenue
not
only
for
the
Black
Hills
of
South
Dakota
but
also
for
the
surrounding
area.
This
year
was
different
though.
With
high
gas
prices
the
turn
out
was
smaller
than
in
years
past
which
lead
to
less
money
being
generated
for
the
Black
Hills.
