Derick Brough is the guy that hosts and created a monthly Bike Night on the Salem Public Square.
Brough is from Pekin and graduated in 1991. He owns American Family Insurance in Bloomington. He is retired military and owns a 2024 Harley Davidson Road Glide.
Brough said, “I got tired of not much to do on Saturdays so I started Bike Night.”
On Saturday, May 25, 85 bikers showed up to show off their rides, experience lots of camaraderie, view the talents of Paul Doodle Pinstriping of Pekin and enjoy concessions from the Speakeasy Pizza truck from Orleans. Bikers attending the event spanned from North Vernon to Simpsonville, KY.
Next bike night will be Saturday, June 22, 6-9 p.m., although Brough is considering other venues for the meet. He hopes to include a cornhole tournament, more vendors, and possibly a band on the brick street, if possible.”
