This paper fashion and many more will be on view at the “Say Yes to the Paper Dress” cocktail party at the museum.

Having been in the motorcycle business for over forty years, Doc was excited to lend his expertise and bikes to the party. “We are combining history and elegance by showcasing motorcycles ranging from a 1941 military issued Indian to a modern day, custom built 160 cubic inch street racer. Both are sure to turn heads for their nostalgic and modern day design features,” says Doc’s Vice President Mike “Doc” D’Occhio. From new state-of-the-art builds to antique bikes, Doc’s selection of motorcycles will get anyone’s heart pumping. Participants will almost be able to feel the wind in their hair just looking at the fast lines and beautifully detailed paint jobs.
