It’s been a rough two years for event planners.
Even with the local elimination of health restrictions and an easing of the COVID-19 pandemic, its been hard to plan outdoor events given the amount of lead time required
But at least one annual event will return, the Otto Wentz Cafe Hollander Downer Classic bicycle races.
The race will be part of the 12th annual Tour of America’s Dairyland (ToAD). Sponsored by Kwik Trip, the multi-day, outdoor series features daily races ranging from amateurs to professional men’s and women’s races. The Downer Classic, which predates the series, has long been its signature race drawing large crowds and thousands of dollars in prizes.
Woods notes that the new brick and mortar will expand the options for the nascent pizza brand, which has in recent months catered primarily to North Shore customers in their limited delivery and pick-up area.
“It’s exciting,” he says, “It will not only give us the ability to expand the menu, but also really dial in on the consistency of the product, a luxury we haven’t had while using our Roccbox pizza oven.”
Dreibelbis agrees. “Overall, we’re looking forward to a better, more consistent product for customers. We’ll also have a much larger capacity for orders, so we won’t have to turn down customers on busy nights. And because we’ll be more centrally located, we’ll be better able to serve customers Downtown and in the surrounding area.”
