5th Annual Memorial Day Bike Decorating Contest Scheduled for May 28th
Decoration Day, as it was originally called, or Memorial Day, as we call it today, has always been a very special day in our mid-Mon Valley small towns and communities, as we gather together and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our nation and our very way of life.
Bike decorating Contest scheduled - Belle Vernon |
This year on Memorial Day, The Good Ol’ Days Vacation House Rental in North Belle Vernon will host its 5th annual Memorial Day Bike Decorating Contest and will open the opportunity for ALL patriotic Americans of all ages to decorate their bikes, trikes, wagons, scooters, and even wheelchairs to demonstrate their appreciation and support for our nation’s heroes.
Participating in parades and demonstrating a love of our country is the way we used to do it in those good ol’ days. So go get grandma and grandpa to show you how they did it back in those days and join us on Monday, May 28 at the Belle Vernon American Legion Post 659 parking lot at 8:30 a.m. Please call or text 724-331-3654 to register your entry or email your entry to Melanie@Nostalgicguesthouse.com.
Judging will take place at 9 a.m. with awards in the following categories: Most Original, Most Attractive, and Most Patriotic. Prizes will be awarded at the conclusion of the wreath laying and memorial service at the BV Cemetery. ALL participants will receive a free Dairy Queen ice cream cone that can be used at the North Belle Vernon Dairy Queen on Memorial Day.
Get out your red, white, and blue and join in the festivities!
