At J&P Cycles, we make it a matter
of pride to work hard and play hard, and Cinco de Mayo was a day when we played hard. For years, the bosses at J&P have hosted an employee appreciation event, where managers serve employees and employees, in turn, get a chance to dress their manager, supervisor and team leads in festive garb.
This year, we did things a little different. Instead of the usual employee appreciation event, we added a Cinco de Mayo celebration to it and every manager, supervisor and team lead donned a sombrero, decorated by their peers.
In addition, many also wore great-looking, festive costumes in observance of … Continue Reading

If you watch the History Channel on
TV at all, you’ve probably seen promos for American Pickers with Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz. If you’ve actually seen the show, you’ve followed these two “pickers” as they scour the back roads of America, looking for long-forgotten treasures in barns, garages and sheds.
It’s become a very popular program, and proof of that came last Saturday when the pair showed up at the National Motorcycle Museum in Anamosa, Iowa. There to greet them were more than 2,500 fans, lining up all day for the opportunity to shake hands with Wolfe and Fritz and have them autograph a photo.
It turns out that … Continue Reading
