On Saturday, August 14, Pelican State Credit Union hosted its 17th annual FREE Kids Bike Race at Abundant Life Church in Denham Springs.
The credit union was elated to bring this summertime favorite back to the community, and each kid’s smile as they rounded the track proved yet again how one event can make a lifetime of memories.
Pelican’s Denham Springs Branch Manager, Jessie Stewart, led the event by welcoming the attendees and sponsors, gathering all kids to the starting lines, cheering on the racers, and more.
53 kids pedaled as fast as they could around each lap, and the Louisiana heat stood no chance of interfering with the fiery, competitive spirit that was shown. When the kids finished their races, they got to watch their moms and dads compete in an intense race of their own!
Following each race, the credit union gave away door prizes and from local Livingston Parish businesses and awarded each racer a medal of achievement. In addition to the races and prizes, there were refreshments, games, fire engine tours, and more.
