Root River Trail Towns cancels annual Taste of the Trail Events

June 26, 2020 by Preston

Root River Trail Towns has organized Taste of the Trail events on September Saturdays following Labor Day since 2012. The organization made the difficult decision this week to cancel the events in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Trail Towns President, Gabby Kinneberg, said, “Each year, the Taste of the Trail brings in visitors and bicyclists from across Minnesota and surrounding states on three consecutive Saturdays in September. Typically, a few hundred people travel through our towns for these events to experience music, food, and other ‘tastes’ of our communities. Unfortunately, with the projections for continued COVID-19 transmission, restrictions on large groups, safety of volunteers, and financial hardship faced by many of our business donors and sponsors, we feel it best to cancel the three Saturday events this year.” Kinneberg noted that some towns may still have their own festivities but they will not be organized or sponsored by the Root River Trail Towns organization.

Root River Trail Towns invites you to check back for the June 2021 60-Mile Garage Sale and September 2021 Taste of the Trail events!

Root River Trail Towns is a non-profit agency led by volunteer representatives of each town that work together to promote the Root River State Bike Trail System as a regional destination, and to link people to an outdoor experience while fostering community connections.

Root River Trail Towns cancels annual 60-Mile Garage Sale

Root River Trail Towns cancels annual 60-Mile Garage Sale

Root River Trail Towns was planning its sixth consecutive 60-Mile Garage Sale on June 19-20, but concerns due to the spread of the COVID-19 virus have forced its cancellation. The garage sales usually take place in the nine towns along the Root River State Trail, as well as locations in between.

Trail Towns President, Gabby Kinneberg, said, “The 60-Mile Garage Sale has brought in visitors and garage sale enthusiasts from across Minnesota and surrounding states the past several years. We’ve seen its popularity increase each year. Unfortunately, with the projections for continued COVID-19 transmission and the need to continue physical distancing, we feel it best to cancel the event this year. We hope the 60-Mile Garage Sale in June 2021 can be even bigger as more area residents and organizations join in by having a sale.”
