The Buffalo Chip’s 23rd annual Freedom Celebration will be held on Thursday, Aug. 7 and include a full day of powerful presentations, inspiring performances and moving exhibits. For the first time, festivities will also include a special charity ride, sponsored by the City of Spearfish. The Freedom Celebration Ride departs from Main Street, Spearfish and concludes with a celebration at the Sturgis Buffalo Chip®. The ride, led by retired Navy SEAL, LT Jason Redman, will lead participants on a route across the scenic high plains and foothills north of the Black Hills. Upon arrival at the Buffalo Chip, riders will be welcomed in by an impressive display of 800 flags, Battlefield Cross, Memorial Wall and a host of meaningful events planned to honor those currently serving, those who have served and those who have fallen.
Opening ceremonies on Spearfish Main Street will feature a number of dignitaries and honorees including Brigitte Gabriel, a Lebanese American journalist, author and activist. Gabriel is one of the world’s leading terrorism experts, serving as a regular guest analyst on the Fox News Channel, CNN and MSNBC, along with various radio stations across America. She is the author of two New York Times Best Sellers and was named one of the top 50 most prominent speakers in America.
