This event is a fundraiser for the Chamber, with a portion of the money raised going to the Marty Taylor Scholarship Fund.
Marty Taylor was a native of Jaffrey. He was an avid motorcycle enthusiast since childhood and later became a certified motorcycle mechanic in Orlando, Florida where he and his wife lived for a short time. On September 18th, 2006, Marty was struck by a motorist while riding and tragically died. In his memory, members of his family started the scholarship. 2007 was the first year it was awarded. It is designated for a Conant High School graduate who wishes to pursue further education in a technical or vocational related field.
