Port Dover, ON – Scotlynn is proud to once again support Port Dover’s beloved Friday the 13th Motorcycle Rally, an event that brings thousands of visitors to Norfolk County and raises significant funds for local charities. As a company rooted in the region, Scotlynn remains committed to contributing to the rally’s success by providing both essential resources and volunteer support.
This year, Scotlynn continued its partnership with the Port Dover Board of Trade, Port Dover Minor Hockey, and the Port Dover Kinsmen Club, supplying refrigerated trailers to keep refreshments cold and event operations running smoothly. Throughout the weekend, Scotlynn employees were on-site volunteering their time to assist with food booths, stage setup, bartending, and raffle ticket sales.
“We’re very grateful for our partnership with Scotlynn, including the fantastic volunteer support and equipment donations provided by their team.” said Amy Ferris, Spokesperson for the Port Dover Kinsmen Club. “Without them, we wouldn’t be able to give back to the local community and organizations that help put this event on.”
The Friday the 13th Rally has been a Port Dover tradition since 1981, when a small group of motorcycle enthusiasts gathered for a casual ride. Over the decades, it has grown into one of the largest motorcycle rallies in North America, attracting bikers and visitors from across the continent. Held every time the 13th falls on a Friday, the event has become a symbol of Port Dover’s hospitality, community pride, and charitable spirit.
“Friday the 13th has always been a special event for Port Dover. It brings people together, supports great local causes, and celebrates the community spirit,” said Scott Biddle, CEO of Scotlynn and a Port Dover native. “We’re proud to continue our involvement in carrying this tradition and its legacy forward.”
For the town, the rally is more than just a gathering of motorcyclists, it’s a major economic driver and a platform for raising funds that benefit local organizations. With food vendors, live entertainment, and community-run booths, the event transforms Port Dover into a vibrant hub of activity and goodwill.
As a local Norfolk County business, Scotlynn is proud to continue supporting this unique event and the community it serves.
