RAGBRAI is in full swing, attracting riders from all over the nation, including Harlan native Brad Stamper. Now living in Eagle, Colorado, Stamper is participating in his tenth RAGBRAI, relishing the unique experiences the event brings.
Local businesses are joining the fun by setting up booths for attendees, showcasing their goods and services. Among them is Renee Aukes from Lichtsinn Motors, adding to the community spirit of this celebrated event.
Veteran support is also a focus this year, with the Family Alliance for Veterans of America having a booth in Forest City, eager to reach out to more local veterans.
