Orange City, Iowa — When RAGBRAI® comes to town, it takes lots of cooperation by nearly everyone in town. While subcommittees have been working for some time now, the people of Orange City are about to be filled in on a number of details and find out how they can help too.
The Orange City RAGBRAI® committee will be hosting a public “Town Hall Event” this Monday night, April 24 from 7-8 p.m. in the community’s City Hall located at 125 Central Avenue Southeast. Orange City’s RAGBRAI publicity committee chairperson Jenon Scallon tells us that at this event, Orange City’s distinct logo and theme for RAGBRAI XLV – for which the community will be the starting overnight host town – will be unveiled by the Publicity committee, and T-shirts sporting the logo will be for sale by the Hospitality team. In addition, the entertainment committee will reveal the various entertainment/attractions that have been secured for the local RAGBRAI visit.
She tells us that during the Monday gathering, residents will be introduced to local promotions and discounts, a community decorations initiative, an art contest and grand farewell project, and a “Light It Up Orange City” block party announcement. Break-out booths will offer community members an opportunity to learn more specifics and sign up to volunteer and to offer housing to RAGBRAI riders. There will also be a drawing for a RAGBRAI tee shirt and a bicycle.
