On Saturday, May 17, Guthrie County will again be rolling with activity during the annual Red, White and Blue Cruise, sponsored by American Legion Auxiliary Unit 124 (Guthrie Center). The event honors all veterans and active military personnel and welcomes side-by-sides, quads and other vehicles to join the fun. Riders will choose any route to visit some or all of the planned stops, which include Incredi-Bowl (Guthrie Center), Owl’s Nest (Panora), Short’s Place (Menlo), Casey Creamery and Tin Lizzie’s Sports Bar (Casey) and Blue Goose Tavern (Adair).
The event will begin and end at the fairgrounds in Guthrie Center. Registration is from 8:30-9:45 a.m., with the ride beginning at 10 a.m. Registration costs $25 per participant. There will also be optional raffles and a poker run. At 5 p.m., riders return to the fairgrounds for announcement of prize winners. Food will be available on-site from Triple B’s Tenderloins.
All proceeds support veterans, active service members and causes within the community. Trailer parking, camping and shower house will be available on-site. Any questions or sponsorship requests can be directed to Robyn Van Zee, 402-740-9804, or Carrie Dideriksen, 641-740-513.
