The Trick or Treat Trail
Check-in for the The Trick or Treat Trail will at the Knights of Columbus and will last from 9:45 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. Festivities related to The Trick or Treat Trail will officially begin at 11:00 a.m. The Trick or Treat Trail will consist of a variety of events, including an initial Bicycle Safety Course presented by the Ludlow/Bromely Police Dept at 10:45AM. Immediately following the the Bicycle Safety Course registrants will travel approximately 1.5 miles through the streets of Bromely and Ludlow to collect candy and other goodies. There will be a Best Costume Contest following the ride. So, make sure you wear your costumes! There will also be games at the Knights of Columbus for all children to enjoy both before and after they complete the Trick or Treat Trail.
The Ghost Grind
Check in for the The Ghost Grind will also be at the Knights of Columbus and will last from 8:00 a.m. to 9:15 a.m. The Ghost Grind will start at 9:30 a.m., will take riders out along Route 8 to Conrad Park in Hebron, Kentucky, and will bring them back to the Knights of Columbus. The Ghost Grind will cover a total distance of 23 miles. Refreshments will be available for riders at the starting line, the 6 mile mark, the 11.5 mile mark, the 17 mile mark, and the finish line.
Registrants are free to partipate in all Tour de Fright events, including breakfast, both routes, the Bicycle Safety Course, all games, the Best Costume Contest, and lunch. Coffee, juice, water and various breakfast items (including bagels and fruit) will be available at the Knights of Columbus for all registrants during check-in. Lunch will be available for all registrants starting at 11:30 a.m. Also, all donors, sponsors, and non-participating family members of registrants are welcome to help themselves to breakfast, lunch, and all refreshments.
This is a fantastic event that I am proud to promote. United Ministries is the benefactor of the event and for those of you who do not know much about them, I would only say they are the most amazingly generous organization operating in Northern Kentucky. They will help a desperate person once with a food, clothing, housing, or emergency protection services for abuse situations - but after that, they require that the person be involved by taking steps to help themselves. This means seeking GED, accessing services for mental health, drug and alcohol abuse, physical and sexual abuse counseling, ect ect. This matches my own personal stance on helping people who need our help. More information about Unitied Ministries is available at the link above.
Please participate in this event if you are able, or offer sponsorships, or simply make a donation.
Be kind,
Steve Adkisson
