Rogue Valley Mayors? Celebration

A multi-faceted community event for all the family based on "wheels' theme

and featuring closed-circuit criterium bicycle racing. The criterium bike

racing will be held on a closed course around a six-block area of downtown

Medford. This makes a great venue for spectators to watch all the

excitement and get close to the competitors.



Bring your BMX bike and try out the ramps alongside the pros from "Bike-It."

For the younger kids bring your bike and test your skills on the bicycle

safety rodeo course. Skateboard riders from all over can participate in a

skate-a-thon, and professional skateboarders will give skateboard

exhibitions.



In Alba Park over 50 booths will be there with food, drink, live music,

children's' activities and entertainment.



Proceeds from the event will benefit ACCESS Nutrition Programs. For more
