Porky Peanut Brittle was among the delicacies served by Hotel Pattee, an official stop on the official Bacoon Ride 2019.
There were many stops along the trail of the sixth annual Bacoon Ride, but only the passage through Perry brought the bacon-loving bikers to the true pork-processing heart of the Raccoon River Valley Trail.
The annual pork ride was relatively uneventful for area public-safety agencies. The Perry Police Department reported no Bacoon-related calls for service, and the Dallas County Sheriff’s office received seven calls, including four in which the Dallas County EMS was paged for sick or injured riders.
