McDonald family remembers Harley
The second annual Road Trip in memory of Harley McDonald is scheduled on Saturday, Aug. 24. The event begins and ends at the Scranton Community Center.
Harley McDonald suffered serious burns on New Year’s Day 2022 in a fire at a cabin in the woods near his home outside of Scranton. He died of his injuries on Jan. 14, 2022. He was 15 years old.
His family is working to raise $100,000 to name room #314 in memory of Harley as that was the room he was moved to while in the pediatric intensive care unit at Stead Family Children’s Hospital in Iowa City. #314 was Harley’s race number while he was an avid motocross rider.
Registration runs from 9 to 11 am. The Scranton fire department is operating a beer garden, opening at noon. The 515 Cornhole Tournament starts at 2 pm.
All types of vehicles are welcome. The route includes Wasted Grain, Carroll; Angry Beaver, Maple River; Fat Guys Pub & Grub, Auburn; Burd’s Bar, Lohrville; Burt’s Dog House, Boxholm, and 30 Yard Line, Grand Junction.
Supper with pulled pork sandwiches and sides begins at 6 pm. Raffles and live auction begin at 7. The band Dirt Road Divide will entertain at 8 pm.
