2008 Budweiser Grand Nationals Weekend Grand Marshall

Each year we honor an individual who has contributed to our motorcycle community in a very special way and there is no one more deserving than George Jacob.  As the Head of Brewer’s Distributing Company, distributor of Budweiser and other products, George has supported the motorcycling community and the Grand Nationals Weekend for several years.  Thanks to George’s contribution as Title Sponsor for our yearly Budweiser Grand Nationals Weekend, we have been able to contribute significant dollars to support PEO-TAZ A.B.A.T.E Chapter of A.B.A.T.E. Of Illinois promoting motorcycle awareness and providing funds to protect the rights of the motorcycle community.

George also serves as At-Large Councilman on the Peoria, Illinois City Council as well as many other philanthropic organizations.

George is one true community leader!

This year we salute the memory of our brother, Steve Briggs!

Stephen J. Briggs - Feb. 19, 1948 - Feb. 18, 2008

Surviving is his son, Tony and his brothers Allen & George. Steve was a United States Vietnam Navy veteran.

Steve was a member of PEO-TAZ A.B.A.T.E., Harley Owners Group, the American Motorcycle Association and the Motorcycle Rights Foundation. He was also a 10-year contributor and organizer for the Susan G. Komen Ride for the Cure and a proud member of the Patriot Guard Riders.  He loved the Grand Nationals Weekend and has been a part of it organization since the beginning.  Please come and join us in the Motorcycle Parade to honor and salute Steve Briggs!
