Benefit ride to be held for Rineyville man killed in motorcycle accident

WQXE News 0 Comments

Robin Geary says her late husband Billy liked “motorcycles, snakes, and helping people.”

“He was a very straightforward, outgoing, very kind soul,” Geary said. “He stopped and would help anybody, and he was very unapologetic because he was just straight to the point.”

Billy Geary died on March 21 from injuries sustained in a motorcycle crash. The 2016 North Hardin High School graduate is survived by his wife of eight years and five children.

To honor Geary and cover funeral expenses, a benefit ride will be held Saturday, April 18 in Hardin County.

“It’s going to start at Artie Ray’s Sundown Lounge (3670 Flaherty Road, Vine Grove), and it’s going to finish at The Spot Bar and Grill (139 Tiptop Road, Vine Grove),” Geary said. “It’s $15 for a bike or a vehicle, $5 poker run per person. The doors open at 11 a.m. and the kickstands are up at 1 p.m. to take off.”

The event will also feature food and a silent auction. Donations are being accepted for the silent auction. Call or text 270-750-0216 for more information.

Local scouts compete in annual Pinewood Derby

33 drivers will take to the Brickyard next month for the 110th running of the Indianapolis 500-Mile Race, but while the speeds may not have been quite as fast the action was just as intense at American Legion Post 113 this past Saturday.

Cub Scouts from five different packs across nine different counties participated in the Scouting America’s Lincoln Trail District Pinewood Derby on March 28. The annual highlight for Cub Scouts and their families features scouts putting their craftsmanship, ingenuity, and speed to the test by building and racing miniature cars down the derby track.

Scouting America says the Pinewood Derby is a “tradition fueled by creativity, competition, and the spirit of scouting.” What starts as a block of wood, four wheels, and a dream produces “sleek speedsters, imaginative designs, and nail-biting finishes.”

This year’s Lincoln Trail District Pinewood Derby Champion is second grader Ethan Banks, a member of the Wolf Den from Pack 721 in Bardstown. Taking home second place trophies after a tie down to the thousandth of a second were first graders Peter Giardina, a Tiger Scout from Pack 233 in Elizabethtown, and Alex Oberg, a Tiger Scout from Pack 130 in Elizabethtown. Taking home the third place trophy was third grader Percy Giardina, a member of the Bear Den from Pack 233 in Elizabethtown.
