Ride of Remembrance Will Stop in Muskego

Tess Corners Fire Department will be a stop during the 9th Annual Ride of Remembrance for the Wisconsin State Firefighters Memorial on Saturday, July 28. The ride raises money for the nonprofit charity organization, which is dedicated to preserving the memory of firefighters who have died in the line of duty. 

The ride will begin at the House of Harley in Greenfield around 11:30 a.m. and will end at the East Troy Fire Station, with stops at Stone Bank and Dousman along with Tess Corners.

Tess Corners Fire Station #1, which is on Tess Corners Drive, will be the first stop on the ride, and will provide lunch for the riders.

The Wisconsin Firefighters Memorial resides in Ben Hansen Park on the southwest side of Wisconsin Rapids, and along the west side of the Wisconsin River. According to the memorial's website, the site was chosen because ti provided "the peaceful and somber atmosphere the memorial requires.  In addition, the park's existing tall trees and rolling terrain add greatly to the tranquility and serenity of the location, making it the perfect place for the memorial."
