WEST DES MOINES, Iowa -- In celebration of the grand opening of its newest stores in southwest Missouri, Kum & Go LC is giving away a 2009 Harley Davidson Nightster motorcycle. "The Harley Davidson giveaway is a perfect opportunity for us to get to know our newest customers," said Meggan Kring, director of communications.
