The 18th annual Jennifer Short Memorial Scholarship Ride got underway Saturday.
Ray Reynolds, organizer, said the 46 motorcyclists raised $1,500 for the scholarship fund dedicated to Jennifer Short’s memory.
Jennifer Short and her parents, Michael and Mary Short, were killed in 2002. Jennifer was 9-years old at the time of her death. There have been no arrests in the case.
