RAGBRAI Panther Stop
The Pekin Community School District will be conducting a Panther
Stop on the 24th of July for RAGBRAI bikers at the school. The
district will be selling rib sandwiches, pancake/sausage on a
stick, egg and sausage sandwiches, cinnamon rolls, home made pies,
fruit cups, fresh fruit, Gatorade, water and coffee. The high
school band will be playing out along the road for entertainment.
The food court will be on the playground and in the elementary
lunchroom in case of bad weather. Riders will be able to use the
restrooms in the school and take a break in the shade. The daycare
parking lot will be used as a bike repair shop. All proceeds will
benefit the extra-curricular activities to purchase uniforms, band
instruments and etc.
The Panther Stop will be serving from 6 a.m. to 1 p.m. that day. If
you would like to volunteer to help out or donate a homemade pie,
please contact Ann Swanson or Dave Harper at 319-695-3707. Duties
of the volunteers will range from setting up, preparing food,
serving food, restocking of food items, directions / greeters,
making signs and supervising the facilities.
