Their objective is to raise money for the Village, a non-profit organization serving 390 people with disabilities in North Iowa. The ride is in memory of Ralph Replogle, Jr., one of the first people to live at Opportunity Village in Clear Lake. Ralph grew up in Clear Lake and loved to bike around town greeting friends. Donations are welcomed for the ride. The Clear Lake Area Chamber of Commerce Christmas By The Lake Committee has announced a Prince and Princess Contest for children ages three to five.
Businesses are limited to sponsoring only one child.
Those children without a sponsoring business will have one assigned to them. The prince and princess will be chosen through a popular vote, with voting sites at sponsoring businesses. Each vote will cost 10-cents. Entrants must be three to five years and must be available to ride in the Dec. 2 Christmas By The Lake parade. Submitted photos should be three by five-inches or larger.
