HOG/MDA Black ‘n’ Blue Ball
The Harley Owners Group Savannah Chapter 818 joined forces again this year with the Coastal Empire Muscular Dystrophy Association to present the 14th annual Black ‘n’ Blue Ball at the Mighty Eighth Heritage Museum. The eclectic crowd wore gowns, tuxes, jeans and splashes of leather to groove the night away to local dance band Main Street, all in the name of altruism.
