Agrivision airs Ice Cream Cruise concerns
(Glenwood) -- Officials with a Mills County company say they don't want a popular fall racing event shut down. But, Agrivision officials want better communications and access associated with the Ice Cream Cruise, scheduled for September 27th-29th at the Raceway Park of the Midlands near Pacific Junction. Two company representatives voiced concerns about the event during Tuesday's Mills County Board of Supervisors meeting. Kristi Pein stresses the racetrack has been great neighbors to Agrivision in the past, allowing the use of its parking lot for one of the company's recent auctions. However, Pein says the event's late September dates coincide with harvest--one of Agrivision's busiest times. Then, there's the issue of traffic flow on 190th Street--which she says upset Agrivision last year.
