MASON CITY, IA – Local cyclists will hold their annual food drive, “Cranksgiving”, to help feed the hungry in North Iowa.
Area cyclists are invited to meet at Lorado’s on the Plaza, 18 S. Federal, Mason City, on Sunday November 11th. Participants will be given a shopping list, and ride from store to store buying certain items to donate.

Door prizes for participants have been donated from our sponsors; Splash Multisport, Mason City Brewing, HED Cycling, Carlos O’Kelly’s, Wayne’s, Bennett’s, and Lakeside Cyclery.
