The 10th annual Nelson’s Ride will be held at Stage Fort Park on Sunday, Aug. 23 (rain date: Sunday, Aug. 30). Nelson’s Ride is annual slow motorcycle ride in memory of Nelson Selig Sr., who was killed in a motorcycle accident on May 2, 2000, leaving behind his wife Felicia, children Nelson Jr. and Kristin, sisters Melanie and Jeannine, his mother Faye Brophy, his stepfather Bob Brophy, and many good friends.

The annual fundraiser began in August 2000 to raise money for Selig’s two children to attend college; that goal has been reached, and at the family’s request, now raises money for other Essex County families of riders killed in accidents.
