Bicyclists from Appleton, New Richmond, Madison, Hayward and Dubuque, Iowa rode into The Highground at noon Sunday, August 7, 2011 for their Journey’s End Celebration. The Neillsville American Legion Post 73 and Phillips American Legion Post 122 presented their colors along-side volunteers holding Native American flags. Visitors and guests cheered as the Replica Liberty Bell tolled greeting the riders as they peddled into The Highground. Following group pictures and a celebration picnic lunch for the riders, support people and families, awards were given to each route’s top fundraisers. As at every event at The Highground, the names of Wisconsin’s KIAs from Iraq and Afghanistan were read.
The 27th Annual Bicycle Tour tallied over $40,000 in donations; once again being one of our top fundraising events. Thank you to all who supported this event with their time, talents and generosity. |
