Anyone have an inside line on why this event has been terminated?

I was there yesterday and it was a pretty good turn out. The MC clubs were wearing their colors so maybe this could be a reason. Or Yarusso doesn't want to do it any more. The police were there in force so maybe the neighbors are complaining. But I didn't hear any talk yesterday about it or that this was the last one.

I see on their web page that he is canceling the event.

lot's o activity on Wed at Yarusso's 

buddy of mine had what they call a sudden cardiac arrest, fell off his bike as he was about to leave. 

some of the yarusso's staff was trained in cpr and kept him alive until the aed arrived along with paramedics arrived

he is still alive but in the hospital. 

my gut is that yarusso's are not making enough money vs the racket that the neighborhood endures.  doesn't matter how much you ask riders to not run full throttle in first gear thru this neighborhood, but it happens everytime. 

they have done a great job over the years representing their family business and supported the community well.  keep them in your cross hairs for st paul italian, as it would be sad to see a place like this close.

I went there today and there was bikes coming and going, not many and no free food. The reason this ended was last year I started seeing biker gangs in their colors. Last month there was three rival gangs there in their colors. Now add beer to this and their were people that were not feeling safe. So he stop it. I don't know why they started wearing their color or why they started to even show up, but now they ruin a good thing. Now he has First Saturday at noon to 2 and free pasta if you ride your bicycle.
