RAGBRAI 2019 will return for an overnight stop here on July 22. This is the first time in 29 years RAGBRAI has overnighted here.
“Actually, there’s been a group of amazing people have come together to make this happen,” said Kelley Brown, Winterset City Administrator. “I know it’s been a dream for a long time, the mayor sent numerous letters requesting to have them here, so it’s very exciting.”
The theme is “Winterset, Where Everyone’s a Winner.” The entertainment has not yet been announced, but organizers are looking for volunteers. Requests for housing will not be taken until after May 1.
“For me as Mayor the reason I want to have everybody impressed, is I want to have them come back, we’ve got a pretty cool place here,” said Mayor Jim Olson.
