Minneota Memorial Run is Aug. 21

The 20th annual Minneota Memorial Run, promoting motorcycle safety awareness, has been set for Saturday, Aug. 21, 2021.
Registration will be from 10:30 a.m.-noon in the back of City Hall Bar & Grill along Highway 68 in Minneota.
Proceeds will benefit Prairie Home Hospice and ABATE Buffalo Ridge Chapter. Lunch will be available by City Hall Bar & Grill during registration. T-shirts will be for sale the day of the Run. Currently, they can be purchased at Brad’s Market until Aug. 20.
Friends and family members of road and highway accident victims in the Southwest Minnesota area who want to keep their memories alive established this event. This event is not only for motorcycles, but all vehicles. After all, we all share the road.
The Run will be leaving Minneota at noon and making planned stops in the following towns: Dawson, Appleton, Montevideo, Granite Falls, Cottonwood and then back to Minneota. The run is approximately 135 miles.
After the Run, everyone will meet behind City Hall Bar & Grill to share memories, stories, food, drink, music, prizes and have an overall good time. From 5:30-6:30 p.m. the City Hall Bar & Grill will be serving a Pork Sandwich meal (included with registration). Meal can also be purchased by the general public, too.
There will be a program at 6:30 p.m., followed by door prizes and live music by Broken Oak from 7:30 p.m.-11:30 p.m.
A memorial plaque has been dedicated to our lost loved ones and hangs on the wall in the Minneota Community Center with their names inscribed. If you have lost someone in a motor vehicle accident and are interested in having his or her name added to the plaque, or for more information on the Run, call Eriann Faris at 507-530-3573.
