Lackawanna County Commissioners Bike Safety Fair Set For May 14th at McDade Park

As “Old Man Winter” slowly leaves the area, two old friends have returned – Bike Season and the Lackawanna County Commissioners Bike Safety Fair.

On Saturday, May 14, the Lackawanna County Commissioners Jerry Notarianni, Debi Domenick, Esq., and Chris Chermak are hosting the eight annual bike safety fair and helmet giveaway at McDade Park, Scranton, from 11 AM to 2 PM.

Two hundred helmets will be given away free-of-charge to the youngsters who attend. Bike safety talks will be done by local police officials.

Geisinger is the presenting sponsor. Other sponsors are: Anthracite Bicycle Coalition and Schiff’s Restaurant Service.

It is vitally important for: bicycles to be in tip-top shape; children to have the proper equipment; and drivers and youth to know the rules of biking and the road.

In that vein, to receive a helmet all youngsters will be required to attend a brief bike safety talk. When the presentation is complete, the children will be able to pick-up a helmet.

There will be several fun activities, and hot dogs will be served, compliments of Schiff’s Restaurant Service.
