July 4th kids bike parade

Oak Ridge Town Park, Oak Ridge | 10 a.m. to noon

“Oak Ridge’s first 4th of July kids bike parade was an overwhelming success, and I was amazed at the community spirit that showed up in full force for the event!

“Thank you to Oak Ridge BSA Troop 219G, To the Moon & Back frozen treats for free ice cream, Oak Ridge Lions Club for providing free hot dogs, chips and drinks for the kids, Bob Rents for the wonderful face painting, and to all the kids and families who participated!

“This event will definitely be added to the Special Events Committee’s calendar of events for 2024!”

 To The Moon and Back frozen treats co-owner Cheryl Albrecht (left) and her sidekick scooped up countless cups of frozen treats, which they gave away to everyone who attended the July 4th bike parade.

 Bob Rents owners Mike and Tiffany Hansen and their helpers offered free face painting and tattoos to kids who attended the bike parade. Courtesy photos (and thanks to everyone who shared their photos with us)!

– Patti Dmuchowski, chair Oak Ridge Special Events Committee

 Cute kids decked out in red, white and blue were in abundance at the bike parade.  Oak Ridge Lions Club members Frank Kelleher (left) and Jim Haase (right) enjoyed cooking lots of hot dogs for their club to give away to kids who participated in the July 4th bike parade.

GRINS and GRIPES

GRINS to...

„ Town of Stokesdale for plans to provide your community with new options at your town park (basketball and pickleball).

„ Dr. Bream and his staff at Bream Medical in Stokesdale for being so friendly and caring. Love them!

„ Robbie Wagoner, for your welldeserved promotion from Stokesdale’s deputy town clerk to town clerk. You have been such a great addition to town staff (along with Dale Martin and Priscilla Hunsucker), and are always friendly, professional and willing to help.

„ The community of Oak Ridge for their participation in our first Kids Fourth of July bike parade. Special thanks to Bob Rents, To The Moon and Back frozen treats and Oak Ridge Lions Club for their contributions!

„ Oak Ridge’s Special Events Committee for being so close to your fundraising goal for Veterans Honor Green in Heritage Farm Park, even after the goal increased due to rising construction costs. Your hard work has paid off!

GRIPES to...

„ The person complaining about the goats on Whitaker Drive. The owners may be working on their backyard and had to relocate them to the front. I live on this road; was thinking about getting some myself so I won’t have to mow.

„ Bi-Rite for not having a diaper changing station in the bathroom. It was pouring rain out and I couldn’t go to my car as an alternative, so ended up having to change my baby’s diaper on the bathroom floor.
