It's quite the scene in Port Dover.
Summer heat, combined with Friday the 13th, mean well over 120 thousand people will gather for the lakeside community's traditional biker rally.
Restaurants, hotels, clothing stores and gas stations are among the big winners.
Norfolk O-P-P are out in full force on the highways and in Port Dover to make sure everything runs smoothly, and as of early Friday afternoon Constable Ed Sanchuk reported just some minor traffic issues.
Norfolk County Mayor Dennis Travale notes that it has become a carefully planned event over the years, with emergency services, community organizations, the board of trade and chamber of commerce all working in tandem.
He expects to set an attendance record today.
