A new community fundraiser combining classic cars, local bars, games, and live entertainment is set to roll into Henry County next month.
The first-ever “Tails and Ales Trail” will take place Saturday, June 6, with proceeds benefiting the Henry County Humane Society locations in Geneseo and Kewanee.
The rally-style event will begin in Kewanee at Wiebler’s at 11:30 a.m. Participants will then travel to several area stops throughout the day, including Mick’s, Bushy’s Pub Stop, and Swanny’s, before ending at Raelyn’s.
Organizers say a cash award will be paid out to one participant based on the total number of entries.
Vehicle registration is currently $20 in advance or $25 on the day of the event.
In addition to the trail itself, organizers are planning an evening of activities at Raelyn’s to keep the party going after the rally concludes.
A bags tournament is scheduled to begin at 5 p.m. in the pavilion, and organizers are currently working to secure a live band to perform beginning around 7 p.m. Raffle baskets will also be available during the event.
The fundraiser aims to support the ongoing work of the Henry County Humane Society while creating a fun, community-centered event for animal lovers, car enthusiasts, and local businesses alike.
