Jamestown, CA — Saturday Vietnam Veterans Post #391 will host the Sgt. Bobby Rapp Memorial Scholarship Motorcycle Run.

The free “open to the public” event will feature hot dogs and music from Chains Required and Hills Bros. Band. The festivities will close at 4pm.

Proceeds from the event will benefit the scholarship funds at Tuolumne County high schools. Donations can also be mailed to Vietnam Veterans Post #391, P.O. Box 5391, Sonora, CA 95370.
