The annual bike rodeo event on May 25 began with a Bike Train coordinated by the District of Clearwater Healthy Living program. Bikers gathered at Rotary Sports Park to form a train and then travelled down to Raft River Elementary School with the assistance of the RCMP helping with traffic control. Approximately 50 students participated in the Bike Train
The Bike Rodeo, put on by the local RCMP members, Victim Services, and Raft River School saw a turnout of 129 elementary bikers.
In the morning all of the students at Raft River School participated in the Bike Rodeo. Some students had bikes and others walked the course that taught the children safety and rules of the roads.
Todd Phillips and Justin Morrison performed safety checks on the bikes and those who had safety issues were given a fix it list to take home to their parents.
Sponsorship for the event came from Rotary, Dairy Queen, Pharmasave, Leyco Logging, A & W/ Jim's Food Market, Interior Savings Credit Union, Royal Bank and Raft River Pac.
