The conversation highlights the day’s schedule, including motorcycle registration beginning at 9 a.m., the Blessing of the Bikes at 9:30 a.m., and the ride departing promptly at 10 a.m. The community celebration continues from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. with live music from Doug and Co., food from Eat Fire Pizza and Sushi Sean, raffles, and silent auction items. Elise also discusses the lasting impact the scholarship fund has had on local students, the importance of community support, and how residents can get involved in helping continue Baxter’s legacy of generosity and opportunity on Nantucket.
