Friends of cycling and other forms of nonmotorized fun,

I've pasted below a copy of the announcement of Westerville's Walk 'n Roll
Festival
this Sunday October 21, 2007 from 1:00 to 4:00 pm.

It will be held at the Westerville Sports Complex at 325 North Cleveland

The Westerville Bike Shop has donated a Fuji Crosstown bike to be raffled
off at the

COBAC will be running the Pedal Instead valet bicycle parking bike corral at
the Festival.
(If anyone would like to volunteer to help us run the bike corral please
email or call me.)

The Festival includes lots of bicycle and tricycle events and other fun

It is supposed to be sunny and warm this Sunday.

See you there!
