Last call!!!! Store link closes tomorrow night at 11:59pm.

Show your Elk Horn pride all year long with this tastefully designed shirt. Available in multiple colors and styles—t‑shirt, long‑sleeve tee, crewneck, or hooded sweatshirt—there’s an option for everyone. Even better, if you choose local pickup in Elk Horn, your order will be ready in time for Tivoli.

If online ordering is not your thing, stop by the city clerk's office during regular business hours and Chelsee will be happy to assist.

All proceeds help offset the cost of hosting RAGBRAI in July.

And a little teaser… our exclusive RAGBRAI design will be dropping later this month. Stay tuned.
