Calling all families! \nJoin the fun on Tuesdays, July 19 through August 23, 2011, 6:30 \u2013 7:30 p.m. in front of the St. Johns Depot. A new program called Tuesday Together Times, which is similar to last year\u2019s Fun Family Fridays, is being offered by the Railroad branch of Clinton County Arts Council. The festivities will be kicked off with the “Wheel Deal” Parade at 6:30 pm, July 19. All who want to participate should bring their decorated bicycles, tricycles, scooters, strollers, or any other wheeled, non-motorized means of transportation, to the parking lot where Cindy\u2019s Ice Cream used to be (on Spring Street, between Walker and Higham) between 6:00 and 6:30 p.m.
\nWhile all ages are welcome in the Wheel Deal Parade, elementary school age children (those starting kindergarten in the fall through those going into sixth grade) should be sure to register when they arrive at the parking lot. That will enter them in a drawing for two brand new bikes: one girl\u2019s bike and one boy\u2019s bike, which were generously donated by Turning Point Youth Center. Additionally, the first 25 children to register will receive a new bicycle helmet, courtesy of the St. Johns Police Department.
\nAt 6:30, the group will walk their bikes, etc. along the sidewalk over to Clinton Avenue in front of the Court House. A police car will lead the Wheel Deal Parade down the middle of Clinton Avenue, while all traffic is stopped. After 3 blocks the parade will turn onto Railroad Street, which will be blocked off until 7:30 so the kids can participate in a bike challenge course; there will also be some games on the lawn for the younger participants.
\nAt 7:15 PM, the drawing will take place for the two new bicycles.
