Come see us and other local first responders at this great event!!!

🚲🚨

Do you all remember last year when it rained only on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays for about two months straight? It was stupendous.

We had scheduled our first annual Bike Rodeo during that time and we had to postpone the event. Naturally, it rained a lot again and the rodeo was postponed a second time. It was obnoxious, but at least your lawn was green. But then again, you couldn't mow your lawn because it rained every weekend and only the most hardcore lawn striping enthusiasts mow on weeknights and ..... I don't remember where I was going with this. The lawn stripes distracted me.

ANYWAY.... It looks like the rain is going to hold off for this Sunday! Mother Nature was given a good stern talking to and was advised to lay off the rain shenanigans between 11 and 3. Should be good to go now for the 2nd Annual Bike Rodeo at CES!

We hope to see you there! If not, you're missing out and we feel sorry for you.

Big thank you to: Castleton Volunteer Ambulance Castleton Kiwanis Davis Roadside Services and Bernie’s Blue Line Barbecue LLC.
