MANSFIELD, Ohio – July 26, 2025 – Despite off-and-on rain showers, the Mid‑Ohio Shrine Club Bike Fest rolled on Saturday in downtown Mansfield, drawing families, motorcycle enthusiasts, and supporters of Shriners philanthropy for a full day of fun, fundraising, and community engagement.
The event, centered in Central Park on Park Avenue, featured a poker run, custom bike show, and a vibrant Kids Fest. While the skies opened up throughout the afternoon, the spirit of the event never wavered—especially among the youngest attendees.
“It rained, but the kids had a blast playing in the puddles and running around in the rain,” said one organizer. “It actually added to the fun for many families.”
