The eighth annual Tanner Jeans Memorial Bike Safety Rodeo will be from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. June 9 and is open to the entire community. Bring children to learn about safety and have a great time.
The bike safety rodeo will be at Snoqualmie Community Park, 35016 S.E. Ridge St., and the adjacent new Snoqualmie Community Center.
Activities include:
- Bike safety instruction by the Snoqualmie Police Department with age-appropriate obstacle courses
- Bike helmets inspected by police; replacement helmets will be provided to those children whose helmet does not pass inspection
- Bike inspections and tune-ups by members of Dirt Corps and Gregg’s Cycles
- Free T-shirts and safety certificates for all participants
- Free Johnsonville Brats, beverages and snacks by our great sponsors
- Bouncers, face painters and balloon makers
- Legends Car Club antique car display
This is a free event; however, donations are gladly accepted and will be used for future bike safety rodeo events.
The bike safety rodeo is hosted and co-sponsored by the Snoqualmie Police Department and the Tanner Jeans Memorial Foundation.
The Tanner Jeans Memorial Foundation is a nonprofit organization formed eight years ago in response to the loss of 7-year-old Tanner Jeans. He was bicycling with friends when he was run over by a pickup in front of his Snoqualmie Ridge home.
The foundation has supported various athletic scholarship, academic scholarship and child safety programs throughout the Snoqualmie Valley since its inception. The foundation is dedicated to teaching kids to “Have Fun, Play Fair and Play Safe” and to ensuring that Tanner’s legacy lives on.
