On October 6th, 2018 the Northside Independent Riders of Duval (NIMRODS) had their 4th Annual Biker Rodeo at the Conklin Compound. The NIMRODs are a group of likeminded old school bikers, not affiliated with any clubs, that love to ride, and each year hold this event to raise money for local families in need or to support local charities. The event consists of biker events such as “The Slow Roll”, “The Keg Roll”, “The Plank Roll”, “the Weenie Bite” and “The Drive By”. Contestants participate for home-made trophies, designed and made by original NIMROD Peckerhead, but receive no cash prizes. There were games and a bouncy house for the kids and the Conklin Compound has a refreshing pool for all to cool off in. There is no cost to enter, but everyone donates for the food and raffle prizes. Coppertop Bar and Grill, the newest cool place to go in Oceanway, helped by having 50/50’s to raise revenues and Mail Box King (904-924-0703) once again donated a custom-made brick mailbox, valued at $600, to be raffled off. This event is usually held October of every year and if you want to have a great day of fun activities make sure you attend next year.
