RAGBRAI is less than two weeks away, and the local organizing committee is hoping to get the community excited about the event. T-shirt sales are in full swing, and Hy-Vee will host a special promotion on Friday, July 15 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

“We’ll have members of the Atlantic RAGBRAI Organizing Committee on top of the roof cycling all day,” says Kipp Harris, General Chair. “We’re hoping everyone will come to the store, purchase a t-shirt, and help us get everyone excited about this event.”

T-shirts featuring the “Cokes, Spokes & Wonderful Folks” logo will be available for sale for $12 and $14. Youth and adult sizes are available in both gray and black.

Locals who wear the t-shirt on Sunday, July 24 will get free entry into the beer garden and entertainment area next to the Rock Island Depot. Admission without the shirt is $5.
