Smoke In The Valley

07/17/2024

Good morning, ! Billy’s Bikers has changed its name to Smoke on the Hill. The new website is: www.smokeonthehillny.com.

Smoke on the Hill will continue Billy’s Bikers mission to arrange an annual benefit for a different non-profit, non-government funded entity each year. This year we will still be benefitting Honor Flight of Rochester, NY on September 7th, 2024 at Budd Park in Shortsville, NY.

We are sad that the Billy’s Bikers name will no longer be used. But Billy will never be forgotten and he will always remain in our hearts.

On behalf of the Canisteo Police Club , we want to thank the Maple City Police Club for 4 great SITV events. This well written letter outlines the relationship of our 2 clubs over the past 5 years leading to an amicable separation of the clubs this year. The Canisteo Police Club is continuing with the 5th annual Smoke in the Valley which is expected to bring in teams and ticket holders from all over Western New York and the Southern Tier. Proceeds from this event will continue to be dispersed to our local community organizations.

We wish the Maple City Police Club the best in their future endeavors and encourage the community to support them in their efforts to raise funds for events that benefit the community such as the Battle of the Badges.
