Monroe Prairie ATV Club is hosting a club ride on Saturday, June 28, 2025. Our ultimate destination is Fawn Creek Winery.

Our first pickup will be at 9:00 AM at Mo’s Bar and Grill. From there, we will head to the Cedar Shack to pick up our final group at 10:00 AM. Then it is off to Fawn Creek Winery for a noon wine tasting!

While we are there, we will be entertained by the Whiskey Belles who will be playing from 11:30 AM to 2:30 PM. We will need to leave Fawn Creek Winery no later than 3:00 PM.

The ride will be a lot shorter this year since we should be able to ride through the Town of Springville instead of around it.

This ride will take up most of the day. The estimated return time is no later than 5:00 PM barring no equipment issues. We ride as a group.

We will have a gas stop if needed.

Please bring a lunch, water and snacks with you. You can also purchase food at Fawn Creek Winery if you do not want to bring a lunch. Please make arrangements for your own designated driver if you are going to need one.

We look forward to seeing you on our second annual ride.
