The sixth annual Wharf Rat Rally is still on in Digby through next Monday and organizers have “decided to cancel hurricane Earl instead," says a post on the popular motorcycle rally’s Facebook site. “People keep asking the question and I say, ‘Please remember that we’re in Atlantic Canada and anything’s possible,’ " rally chairman Glenn Dunn said in a telephone interview Wednesday.
“They’re calling because the storm has been sensationalized. Again I say, ‘Yeah, OK, so every year we get a little rain, so take a Valium.’ Bikers are used to riding in the rain and they carry rain suits."
Organizers have secured the local arena to store thousands of motorcycles if Earl hits Digby.
