When we get back to Big Lake Township Lion’s Park, we plan to have space for bicyclists to wind down and have a light supper!
In lieu of our usual supper and speaker/s, End of the Road Celebration, we are having a social media share-a-thon to raise education & awareness and raise funds for an organization/s.
