Monroe, and their theme of the “Last Brake Before the Lake” is getting ready to host RAGBRAI Wednesday as a pass thru town. The West side of the square on Commerce Street will be blocked off for the beverage garden, and will also feature music from The Soul Searchers, Pie in the Sky, and an acoustic set from Andy Fleming of Brother Trucker. Along the South side of the square the Monroe Fire Department will be hosting water fights, and riders will also have an opportunity to see if they have what it takes to survive 8 seconds on a mechanical bull.
