The Decorah Rotary Club took almost 140 people on motorized tours of the Trout Run Trail on Tuesday. 

The event was organized to help the elderly and those with physical limitations to see the attractions along the trail--something they would not be able to do without riding in the ATVs.  Motorized vehicles are banned from the trail the rest of the year.

Tuesday's event included a free community picnic lunch and free helmet and bike bell giveaways.

Several area businesses loaned the use of their ATVs
