Raccoon River Valley Trail Fundraiser to feature Kevin Cooney

Kevin Cooney, the veteran KCCI-TV news anchor and an avid bicyclist, will be the featured speaker for the third annual membership banquet of the Raccoon River Valley Trail Association to be held here on Saturday, February 20.

The event is set for the Lake Panorama National Resort & Conference Center, just north of Panora.  A silent auction and social time will begin at 6 p.m., with the banquet meal at 7 p.m. and the silent auction continuing until 8:15 p.m.  Cooney will speak at 7:30 p.m., with a live auction following.

The $25 banquet tickets are available now.  You can access a handy ticket order form by clicking here.  Print it out, fill out the information and send it with your check to the mailing address on the form.   The deadline for reservations is February 15.

Proceeds from the banquet and the auctions are used by the RRVT Association to help develop, market and promote the trail; for special events held on it, and also to promote all the communities along the RRVT.

The banquets each of the last two years have been attended by more than 150 association members, who’ve donated about $8,500 each year with their auction purchases.
