Many of you might remember me asking if you would like to give a bike for “Bikes for Tykes” and to those of you that gave Thank You!
Yesterday Healing Place Church put on a Christmas festival at Howell Park and gave away the bikes they had collected for Bikes for Tykes over 1,000 . Dudley and I gave a bike but we had seen how hard JP had been working on this event we thought that we might drive out to take in the festival.
The traffic was crazy what a turn out ! We parked in back as we walked up first thing we saw was 4 semi’s packed with bikes, as we got closer to all the activity, we saw tents set up with face painting, nail painting, craft projects Christmas ornaments jewelry making, campfire for making smore’s, climbing wall, 3 blow up (the kind the kids jump around in) free food frito pies, cotton candy, drinks and a stage with the worship band from HPC Dream Center.
Now it was time for the bike give away. I thought the way they handle who got bikes worked well each child as they came to the festival registered for a bike according to age they were given a color wristband which was placed on the child, the child would be matched with a bike and wristband cut off.
At 3:30 they lined up for the giveaway and can I tell you the line went on forever I really thought no way he has enough bikes but they did 
I snapped a few pictures with my phone
This little guys bike was just right!!
