Baraboo nonprofit gears up for bike ride, barbecue to connect people recovering from addiction

A hot dog at Devil’s Lake State Park: $3. Cost to meet other people recovering from drug addiction and building one another up: priceless. In-Courage Sauk County is gearing up for a 3-mile bike ride and barbecue event Sept. 21 aimed at bringing community members together to celebrate healthy lifestyles and sobriety. “Connection beats addiction. Connection is the difference between addiction and active recovery,” said Lory Seffrood, Sauk County Human Services peer support specialist and a leading member at In-Courage. The nonprofit group connects people recovering from drug addiction and is actively branching out into communities to raise awareness about the issue, Seffrood said.
