Every October, the Saturday before the Maple Leaf Parade, we hold our annual fundraiser ride, the Maple Leaf Bicycle Tour. It is a a road ride, beginning at scenic Kellogg Lake in Carthage, and traverses the serene countryside of Jasper and Barton County, through Jasper, and includes stops at the Keltoi Winery, Beard Engine Brewing, and Red Oak II open air museum. Cool temperatures, calm roads, caring volunteers, and full sag support make for a wonderful cycling experience. Stay for the Maple Leaf Festival OktoberFest in Carthage Central Park which starts at 3 pm, food trucks, beer and free music!
