For the third consecutive year, Osage City hosted the bicycle riders as they traveled through Osage City on the “Rush the Rails” event on Saturday, October 5, 2019. The Chamber of Commerce hosted the event at Peterson’s Assisted Living, as Osage City was designated as one of the rest/break points for the participants. The Chamber of Commerce were pleased to take this opportunity to welcome the participants to our community and express our generous hospitality. Participants enjoyed snacks provided by the Osage City Kiwanis Club and the Osage City Lions Club, sandwiches, water refills, which were provided at the Assisted Living. Osage City and surrounding communities were welcomed and encouraged to come and visit with the participants that passed through our community throughout the day from approximately 10:00 am to 3:30 pm.
Paxton Alsgaard, from Yankton, S.D., joined with the Rush The Rails bicycle group as he was passing through the area. Paxton is bicycling across the nation. He started in Washington, D.C., & will end up in San Diego, CA. He expects to arrive in San Diego in mid-November.
