SARATOGA SPRINGS, NY -- Here's one for your future file: August 18, next summer.
That's the date for "Get Your Motor Running." No, not the Steppenwolf song that opened with that line, but rather a fundraiser for Saratoga Bridges, to be held at a place better known as a gathering spot for the horsey set during the annual Saratoga Race Course thoroughbred season.
Siro’s restaurant, located next to the race course, will be open from 6 to 9 p.m. that day for the 21st annual gala.
Included in the event will be a pig roast, an open bar, live music and an appearance by Goldy McJohn, founding member and original keyboardist of the Steppenwolf rock group that recorded "Born To Be Wild."
Attire will be cocktail casual or biker garb.
Saratoga Bridges began with a community-based home for people with developmental disabilities. It now has a residential program and a variety of day services.
