Bill Throckmorton, a staff member at Bike World in West Des Moines, shows off a Giant touring bicycle that will be included in the auctions at Saturday’s (Feb. 19) banquet of the Raccoon River Valley Trail Association. The event will be held at the Lake Panorama National Conference Center, just north of Panora. A story in the RRVT News, below here, tells about many of the items you can bid on in the silent and live auctions at the banquet. A few tickets are still available, either online on this Internet site or from members of the association’s board.
