With temperatures in the 80s and 90s this week, winter and snow likely feel like they’re a world away.
But that’s not stopping a regional snowmobile club from getting out to thank local businesses for their support.
The Raccoon Valley Snowchasers are hosting their 4th annual Summertime Party Bus fun Run next weekend. Though they can’t get their sleds out this time of year, the group invites area adults to join them Saturday, August 8th.
The day-long event involves participants jumping on a bus and making stops at several area businesses, and participating in a drawing for prizes at the end.
Event organizer Mike Patten, who serves as the club’s president, says “This is an opportunity for snowmobilers and other outdoor/motor sports recreation enthusiasts to support and say thanks to local businesses for their sponsorship of outdoor sports.”
He says they also hope to attract new snowmobilers to the club.
The event takes off from the middle school parking lot in Jefferson at 11am, followed by stops in Panora, Lake Panorama, Perry, Redfield, Dallas Center, Adel and Jamaica before winding up at the Owl’s Nest in Panora around 6pm.
The cost to participate is $20 per person.
