Private Collection: RAGBRAI XXVI, 1998

RAGBRAI is an annual, 7 day long bike ride across Iowa. It starts at or near the western border and ends at or near the eastern border of the state. There are both overnight and pass through towns along the route. These towns have themes and sell or hand out souvenirs to mark the occasion when RAGBRAI came through and stayed in their town. RAGBRAI also has souvenir's produced that are sold from their merchandise trailer located in each overnight town. The beer coozie was sold at the RAGBRAI merchandise trailer. The button is from one of the pass through towns, and the sand was from Iowa's only island town on the Mississippi River. These items are from RAGBRAI XXVI in 1998 and are in a private collection in NW Iowa.
