Town of Summerton hosting free Bike Rodeo

The Town of Summerton will host a free Bike Rodeo and Safety Fair on Saturday, April 23, at Taw Caw Park in Summerton.

Children ages 5-12 will learn to properly use their bicycle equipment and test their skills on a road test. Participants must wear helmets and bring their own bicycle.

The event will also feature car seat safety inspections. Safe Kids Pee Dee/Coastal led by McLeod car seat technicians will work with you to make sure your child is in the right seat and fitted properly, and that the seat is correctly installed in your vehicle.
