The Raccoon River Valley Trail Association invites everybody to the 6th annual membership banquet on Saturday night, Feb. 16, at 6 p.m. at the Lake Panorama National Resort & Conference Center. It's always one of the most fun gatherings of the bicyling year. Cocktails & silent auction begin at 6, fantastic banquet dinnr at 7, then enjoy the tales of special guest speaker Van Harden of WHO radio's morning "Van & Bonnie Show." He is shown in the photo here, standing on the trail's trestle bridge on the east side of Adel, where he was raised and still lives. After Van speaks, then we will have the live auction of about a dozen terrific items or trips or packages. All proceeds support the RRVT Association's work of promoting the trail and the communites along it.
