Young ‘bikers’ vie for ‘Best Decorated’ parade honor
One of the most popular sections of
the Northville Community Foundation
Independence Day Parade every year
is the parade of decorated bikes, a trib-
ute to the creativity of the artistic
youngminds inNorthville.
Children 5 and older are invited
every year to decorate their bikes, and
sometimes even trikes, with patriotic
red, white and blue adornments and
join the event. They do not pay an
entry fee, nor do they have to pre-regis-
ter, they simply show up at the
Northville Downs parking lot at the
corner of Sheldon and Seven Mile
Road by 9:20 a.m. on the Fourth of July
riding their decoratedwheels.
Parents are welcome to walk along-
side the young bikers during the
parade.
This year the bikes will be decorat-
ed in theAmericanMemories theme of
the parade and the winners chosen as
the best decorated bikes in both the
girls and boys category will each
receive a $50Meijer gift card.
The bike parade is sponsored this
year by Meijer, the Northville
Community Foundation and Monroe
Bank andTrust.
