It’s been a rough two years for event planners.
Even with the local elimination of health restrictions and an easing of the COVID-19 pandemic, its been hard to plan outdoor events given the amount of lead time required
But at least one annual event will return, the Otto Wentz Cafe Hollander Downer Classic bicycle races.
The race will be part of the 12th annual Tour of America’s Dairyland (ToAD). Sponsored by Kwik Trip, the multi-day, outdoor series features daily races ranging from amateurs to professional men’s and women’s races. The Downer Classic, which predates the series, has long been its signature race drawing large crowds and thousands of dollars in prizes.
