The Tewksbury Police Department & Board of Health, in conjunction with local businesses and community groups, would like to announce its Annual Bike Rodeo & Health Fair. This bicycle safety event will be held on Sunday, June 4, 2017 from 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM in the Tewksbury Memorial High School parking lot, 320 Pleasant Street.
Bicycle safety is critically important and helmets are the law for riders aged 16 and younger.The Bike Rodeo will have a station for bikes to be inspected for safety, helmet fittings, and an obstacle course designed to teach bicycle safety. Each child will be entered in a drawing for a chance to win donated prizes.
Involvement from the Tewksbury business community would be appreciated if possible as this is a high visibility outreach event. Suggested opportunities include: Volunteering time to staff a table while wearing your merchant logo shirts, Donating merchant coupons to be used as rewards for children “caught” wearing their bicycle helmets, Donating a bicycle (obtained inexpensively at local discount stores for $50) or other bicycle related equipment ( horns, reflectors, first aid items), or Donating items to help with the rodeo set up such as balloons, popcorn station, arts and crafts, snacks, raffle items, etc.
This year we are excited to have the Health Fair join us to make this event even bigger and better! This will be a fun event for the entire family!!
As always, thank you in advance for your support. We appreciate your interest in helping keep the children of Tewksbury safe!
