Jerry DeMille and Scott Bevens left their homes in North Hollywood at 4 a.m. Friday to get to the Hollister Independence Rally. The longtime friends said the trip was worth it.

The Hollister Downtown Association has selected ConvExx to organize the Hollister Motorcycle Rally in 2015, according to an announcement from the HDA.

As a business owner in Hollister who is grievously affected by the lack of a rally, my frustration continues to mount. I’ve sadly observed as every year without a rally the number of people who make the journey to Hollister on Fourth of July weekend declines. Thank God for Mike and the folks at Corbin. His annual Rider Appreciation Day, this year held on June 30th, draws thousands of motorcyclists to Hollister. Local media did not find it newsworthy, but last year the Corbin Open House drew an estimated 5,500 attendees. I would guess that somewhere in the neighborhood of 500 of them made it downtown and for a short time it looked like the good old days on San Benito Street. Without Corbin’s efforts, Hollister would have been a ghost town; if only we could talk him into a two-day event.
