About this event

El Rallye de Mayo

CANCELLED--El Rallye De Mayo!

Sadly, a run-through today (May 4) has determined that we need to cancel (postpone) El Rally De Mayo. Too many rural roads in the Mississippi River bottomland where the rally is run have been closed by the rising backwaters of the river. We will reschedule the rally for a later date. --The Committee
