157 participate in bicycle rodeo The bike rodeo held in front of the Ligonier fire station Friday afternoon brought in 157 bicyclists for bike inspection and testing of riding skills. There were 78 participants in the nine year and under group, 15 in the 13 and 14-year group and over 60 in the 10, 11 and 12-year

group. When the program was coordinated by the Ligonier Presbyterian church summer staff, it was estimated that 50 or 60 young people would take part. Mrs. Sue Hoogenboom of the summer staff saw the necessity of such a program in this area after witnessing a similar event in Goshen. The staff solicited the help of the Ligonier fire and police departments. These men, among other things, took over the collecting of prize money and gifts from merchants and businessmen. Lime for marking was furnished by the Park and Recreation board. Marking was done by Tom Shell. After the bicycle inspection an obstacle course was set up to test the skills of young riders. The program also included a film on bicycle safety regulations shown by Rev. Leonard Phelps. Winners Randy Taylor was winner of a new bicycle in the 13-15 year group. Second prize, a trophy, went to Bob Ritchie. Mike Gillespie came in third and won a $lO gift certificate from a Ligonier merchant. In the 10-12 year group, Douglas Sands won the bicycle, Susie Sterne, the trophy and Mark Miller, the certificate. In the nine and under class, Jeff Cormican was the bicycle winner. Second prize went to Brett Campbell and third to Robby Durham. In addition to the three bicycles, there were about $250 worth of additional prizes. Among those were many bicycle accessories and other articles donated by merchants. The bicycle rodeo proved to be of interest to both young and old. Observers including parents and many retired residents lined the course and filled the library and fire station lawns.
