RAGBRAI ~ Selling Sno-Balls

Here they come... the crew drumming up business
Those that stopped said the Sno-balls were "awesome", "best they've had".
"You Crave It, We Shave It!"
Our Sno-Ball operation~12 flavors to choose from
Riders went by like this for 6 hours... a constant, steady stream of bikes
It was too good of an opportunity to pass up with RAGBRAI going right by our house. Thanks to friends we aquired a Southern Snow ice shaving machine and decided to sell Sno-Balls to the riders. Mostly we wanted an excuse to be out there watching them ride by. We didn't sell tons, something like 130, but we had fun watching and visiting with those that did stop in. We did learn how important location is, location IS everything. I have experienced RAGBRAI before, but I am still in awe of the numbers of riders and how far some travel to bicycle across our beautiful state of IOWA.
