Tomah Rotary will be hosting a major event in September on the 17th and 18th. They are holding an ATV/UTV rally with the goal of setting a new world record for the most machines in a parade. The current record is 1,870 held by a group in Colorado. We think the record belongs in Wisconsin, so we have set a goal of 2,000! As the saying goes, "It is going to be EPIC!"
Rally weekend will include a poker run, decorating contest, raffles, vendors, beer garden, music and a classic car show. There is camping available for those wanting to spend the weekend. See the attached flyer for more information. Online registration is now open and only $25 per machine.
