Party At The Pen East

The Midwest’s newest vintage motorcycle show will roll into a historic venue in “The Fun Center of Ohio” this weekend.

The inaugural Party At The Pen East will showcase the best 1960s and ’70s style choppers at The Ohio State Reformatory’s prison yards and cell blocks in Mansfield.

Charity raffle proceeds will benefit Wounded Warriors Family Support, which is an independent nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide support to the families of those who have been wounded, injured or killed during combat operations. The organization is run by combat veterans for combat veterans. Last year, Party At The Pen raised more than $25,000 through giveaways and donations to Wounded Warriors Family Support.

Party At The Pen East will showcase the American Motor Drome Company Wall of Death with motorcycle daredevils who travel along a vertical wall to perform tricks, fancy riding and acrobatics.

The event also will feature beverages, food trucks, some of the country’s best tattoo artists, a renowned 1800s Tin Type photographer who will take portraits of vintage pen pictures and vendors that will sell top-notch, exclusive merchandise from favorite brands.

Tickets are $30 to $40 for general, $80 for VIP and $50 to $99 for a yard pass. Kids under age 12 are free. Harley-Davidson Motor Company also will provide free admission for veterans with a valid identification.
