New Festival Event! BikeAthens Rally for Kids
We’re excited to announce the BikeAthens Blueberry Rally will be a FREE, new 12-and-under kids event during this year’s Forest Heights Blueberry Festival on Saturday, June 3.
How to Participate
Be at the Holly Court festival site at 9:30 a.m. ready to ride.
Riders will set off to gather as many rally points as possible in 30 minutes. (See the course map for preliminary rally points.)
Return to Holly Court for a brief awards ceremony at 10:15 a.m.
Bicycle and outdoor gear will be given as prizes to riders in each age category with the most points. (Must be present to win!)
Older siblings, parents and other family members are encouraged to ride along and can gather their own tickets for door prizes to be given away during The Blueberry Jam concert that evening. (Must be present to win!)
After the rally, BikeAthens will remain at the festival providing bike tuneups and free helmets until 5 p.m.
What This Event Needs!
We want to give a big thanks to BikeAthens (especially executive director Scott Long) for their enthusiasm in adding this event to the festival. However, to make it a success, we need at least seven volunteers to tend rally points and help create a safe environment.
If you’re willing to help out with this and/or other volunteer needs during the festival, please add your name and contact info to one of the slots on the volunteer spreadsheet, or contact Scott at BikeAthensShop@gmail.com.
