Open containers allowed

ELDORA - The Eldora City Council will allow open containers during the Iowa’s Ride Weekender event July 16-18 in Eldora. The decision, which allows people to walk in between different venues in Eldora with an open container of alcohol, was made at the June 8 regular council meeting and passed by a 3-2 vote.

“This is much smaller than RAGBRAI,” City Administrator Aaron Budweg said. “Talking to law enforcement, it is easier to get a variance for law enforcement without worrying about someone walking down the street with an open container.”
