Reading’s list of weekend activities has thinned out noticeably due to the weather.
Initially, Reading was set to host its annual Tornado Trot and Trail, as well as a pancake feed for the town’s Benefit Fire Department and an ATV/UTV ride to benefit Wade’s Warriors. With heavy rainfall Friday, both the ATV/UTV ride and pancake feed have been canceled.
Organizers are still hoping to have the Tornado Trot and Trail, but that decision may be made early Saturday.
10:40 am Friday: Organizers of Reading’s weekend activities closely watching weekend weather pattern
Organizers of weekend activities are planning for possible weather issues.
Organizers of the different activities in Reading on Saturday say participants in the Tornado Trot and Trail should delay their starts if there is lightning or heavy rain until it’s safe to ride. Rolling starts were already planned, so organizers say they will be flexible on those starts until noon. If heavy rain continues through the morning or mid-day, that event and the UTV/ATV benefit ride for Wade’s Warriors may have to be postponed.
Reading also has a pancake feed Saturday morning to bolster the town’s Benefit Fire Department.
Rain chances are moderate to likely through Sunday evening. There is a slight risk of severe weather Friday evening and again Saturday evening.
