On Saturday, March 29, RAGBRAI is hosting a Pass Through Town meeting for the towns on the Forest City to Mason City route in July 2014.    At this meeting Clear Lake and Ventura will find out guidelines for their role as a pass through town on July 23.  

According to Dianne Thompson, chairperson for Clear Lake’s RAGBRAI activities, one obvious expectation for Clear Lake will be hundreds of volunteers to be a part of RAGBRAI XVII.    Volunteers will be asked to get involved with various tasks both prior to and on July 23, she said.
