Raffle bikes for some lucky winner in three age groups
The Fort Fairfield Rotary Club once again sponsored the Bike Rodeo event during the Maine Potato Blossom Festival. Children ages two through twelve were invited to participate in a rider safety course and within three age groups have the opportunity to win a free new bike. Additionally, all participants received a new bike helmet and were able to ride down Main Street (local police-escorted of course) for a free hotdog, french fries, and drink lunch at the Knights of Columbus Hall.

Preparations begin

Bikes need to be tested. Oh-oh, looks like these two didn't listen to Officer Jim. No helmets!
