If you have the ability to ride your side-by-side to the ride, we encourage you to do so! Parking will be limited, so bringing your SxS directly to the event will help us make the most of the available parking space.

🌊 Also, if you’d like to bring a swimsuit, we’ll have a few locations along the ride where you’ll have the opportunity to cool off in the water!

We’re looking forward to a great day of riding!

A heartfelt thank you to Ralynn Tate, an Edgar County Shrine Child, for generously donating 100% of the proceeds ($1250) from the sale of her cake at the Edgar County 4-H Food Auction to St. Louis Children's Hospital. Your kindness, generosity, and willingness to give back are truly inspiring.

A special thank you also goes to Scott Ingrum of Ingrum Waste Disposal for supporting this incredible cause by purchasing the cake. Your generosity will help make a meaningful difference in the lives of children and families receiving care at St. Louis Children's Hospital.

In a world that can sometimes seem a little dark, it's uplifting to witness good people doing good things. Acts of kindness like these remind us that compassion, generosity, and community are alive and well.

Thank you both for making Edgar County proud and for helping bring hope to children who need it most.

Dear Reagan,

On behalf of our entire Edgar County Shrine Club, we want to extend our deepest gratitude for taking the time to join us at our annual Shrine BBQ.

Your presence meant far more than simply attending. You are the reason we work so hard to support the mission of Shriners Children. Seeing your smile, hearing your story, and spending time with you reminded everyone in attendance why these events are so important.

You are an inspiration to us all. Your courage, strength, and positive spirit touch the hearts of everyone you meet. Thank you for sharing a part of your day with us and for helping our supporters see firsthand the incredible difference that Shriners Hospitals makes in the lives of the children and families.

We are honored to know you and grateful that you helped make our event so special. Please know that you will always be a cherished member of our Shrine family.

With heartfelt appreciation and best wishes,

The Edgar County Shrine Club.

As another Shrine Weekend comes to a close, we want to take a moment to say THANK YOU.
From the Super Raffle and Auction on Friday evening, to the BBQ, Parade, 50/50, and Derby on Saturday, this weekend would not have been possible without the incredible support of so many people.

Thank you to all of our sponsors for your generosity and commitment to helping us continue our mission. Your support provides the foundation that makes these events possible year after year.

Thank you to our fellow Shriners who dedicate countless hours of planning, organizing, cooking, selling tickets, setting up, cleaning up, and doing whatever needs to be done. The success of this weekend is a direct result of your hard work and dedication.

Thank you to every volunteer who gave their time to help. We are especially grateful to the student-athletes and young people who stepped up to lend a hand throughout the weekend. Your willingness to serve your community does not go unnoticed.

Most importantly, thank you to the people of our community. Whether you bought a raffle ticket, attended the auction, came through the BBQ line, watched the parade, cheered at the derby, donated, bid on an item, or simply shared a post, you helped make a difference.

The Edgar County Shrine Club is blessed to be part of such a generous and supportive community. Because of your support, we can continue our work and help provide hope and assistance to children and families when they need it most.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for making Shrine Weekend 2026 a tremendous success. We couldn't do it without you.

— Edgar County Shrine Club

P.S. We can’t wait to do it all over again next year!
