Day 2 - Moneta , Iowa

The town of Moneta has four houses and a heart the size of Chicago.
Today Team Tyson made friends with neighbors in Moneta. After spending the night with Spencer, Iowa resident Cathy Wright, we were ready to cook and serve thousands of riders. Team members from Cherokee did not disappoint and showed us how much fun we could have, flagging down riders as they peddled down the highway looking for a cold drink and something to give them energy. By 2:00 p.m., all you could see was a sea of riders and team Cherokee cooked and served making sure everyone had something to eat. This picture was taken in the middle of our set up behind the Everly Bull. In the red t-shirt, our local hostess for the evening, Cathy Wright who let three of us stay in her home and enjoy the true RAGBRAI experience.Cherokee team members and community relations manager Judy McElroy got our hunger message out to the masses as riders pulled into Moneta.Cherokee team members cooking steak sandwiches, hot dogs and pulled pork sandwiches. Today's sales will benefit children in Cherokee, Iowa! Friends and fellow volunteers stop by for some protein and a rest along the route.
