Elks #1248 of Three Rivers, MI held their 8th annual bicycle rodeo on Saturday, June 17, 2023.
From Kim Adams, PER
The
8th Annual Bicycle Rodeo was a success!
We had 126 children, and their parents attend the
event, which was made possible by the Beacon Grant that we received from Grand Lodge.
We gave away 46 bicycles and many bicycle accessories along with a free helmet
to each child. We served 140 grilled hotdogs, bags of chips and bottles of
water. Thank you to C21, Nick Cook, Heart Smart, LLC
and the Elks members who donated bicycles and Walmart for donating the bicycle
accessories. A special thank you to all the volunteers who
helped with the event, especially Roger Kelly who helped me shop
and transport all the bicycles.
