- Staff reports

The City of Cedartown is hosting a new event this fall and they are looking for community organizati­ons to participat­e. Dubbed “Spooky Spokes Bike Ride and Halloween Village,” the first-ever event will feature old-fashioned fun for a wide age range of children.

Spooky Spokes is planned for October 12 at Bert Wood Park on Lynton Drive from 4 p.m. until 7 p.m.

“The event is designed to bring the community together to offer free, safe, old-fashioned fall fun to local children,” said Cedartown Public Informatio­n Officer Aimee Madden. “This is a family-friendly event, so gory and scary decoration­s are not allowed. Bike safety will also be offered during the event, as well as a bike ride around the track.”

The City is encouragin­g civic clubs, community organizati­ons, churches and businesses to take part in the event by setting up a booth and joining in the fun. Keep in mind that this event is geared towards children, so booths should have an activity or activities that is/are suitable for several different ages. Organizers are working to offer a petting zoo and hayride as well.

Two different informatio­nal meetings will be held for those interested in participat­ing. The first meeting is planned for August 7 at noon at City Hall; the second meeting will be held Tuesday, August 13 at 5:30 p.m. at City Hall.
