Successful weekend for Hogs for Hospice

Hogs for Hospice organizers call the three-day event a huge success, with more than 10,000 people visiting daily.

The motorcycle ride from Seacliff Park in Leamington to Point Pelee had more than 2,000 registrants.

"It was a success from top to bottom, certainly with the weather, with everything that happened over the weekend, we never got a drop of rain all weekend. It was fantastic," said Joe Oswald, a member of the organizing committee.

Country artist Justin Moore and rock legends the Stone Temple Pilots headlined this year's concerts. Each show drew massive crowds to the festival.

Over the past nine years, the motorcycle rally has raised $3.9-million for Erie Shores Hospice. The final amount for this year's festival has not been calculated.

Tickets are still on sale for this year's 50/50 raffle. The prize pot is already over $350,000.

Planning has already begun for the rally's 10th year.
