This event is organized in remberance of Mel Bassetti.  Mel grew up and worked all his life in the Salinas Valley of California.  He had businesses that included farming and trucking.  He fully enjoyed his life.

Mel loved his Harleys.  Each bike had its own sound as that was the first thing altered on the bikes.  His most recent purchase was a trike, but unfortunately, he never got to ride it. He rode with his wife, Valerie, usually as a Sunday outing. 

In 1997, Mel was diagnosed with a rare blood disease.  His treatment and care at the Scripps Cancer Center in La Jolla, California enabled Mel to live with his disease for over 6 years.  He will be missed by all.

The King City Young Farmers are supporting our efforts as a sponsor.  This group of young men each knew Mel, worked along side Mel, had really good times with Mel.  We thank you for your support.
