then back to the Town Hall Building.

Parade- Theme “The Music of Your Life”, Fire Trucks,

Antique cars, Floats, and more will all be on hand at the one of a

great way to spend some time with the kids and meet new people.
We are proud to have Mr. Bob Kilham this as our parade Grand

to Dee Dee for volunteering to help our summer campers decorate
their bikes and for her help with the Parks and Rec float.

Children’s Bike Race- Let the kids peddle it out at

the annual children’s bike race in the center of town this year.
We’ll line them up, give them a course to ride and they’ll peddle
their way to fun. So bring them down and let the kids enjoy
themselves and get some great exciting physical activity in too.

chance to peddle it out; we’re also going to let adults do the
same. The race this will include multiple divisions teen and adult

pavement, dirt, and off road sections this year (less rugged than in
years past). Awards will be given out to first place male female

divisions from 6 to 7 miles for the teens and 8 to 10 miles for the
