The Fan Ridge MX motocross track, owned and operated by Dale Fletcher in rural Waukon, will be the site of a benefit event that has been arranged to show support and raise funds for one of the track’s frequent riders this Saturday, September 30. The community is invited to the ‘Take a Rip for Dalton’ event, beginning at 9 a.m., whether they are motocross riders themselves or not.
August 21 of this year, area motocross enthusiast Dalton Seymour of Farmersburg had a seizure in his sleep. His wife, Erin - whom he had exchanged vows with just nine days earlier, called 911 and an ambulance transported him to the hospital in Elkader. He was given medication to stop the seizures and taken to have a CT scan done.
