Indianola RAGBRAI 2019 will hold an informational meeting for groups and organizations interested in selling food or other merchandise during RAGBRAI’s overnight stop on Tuesday, April 23, at 7 p.m., in the multi-purpose room at St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church on Hwy. 92 west of Indianola.

The Indianola RAGBRAI committee rolled out its theme and logo Tuesday with an online release on Facebook. The theme is Roll into Nola, a take on Mardi Gras and Fat Tuesday celebrations, said Gina Piper, one of four executive committee members with the group.

At least one committee in charge of organizing RAGBRAI’s overnight stay in Indianola is up and running.

Clarence Pickard pedaled his way across the state and into the hearts of Indianola residents when he rode on the first Register’s Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa in 1973.
