The Hailey Public Library and Mountain Rides will host a free Halloween-themed Bike Rodeo from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 30, at the new Hailey Town Square behind the library.
Children are encouraged to bring a bike and helmet—there’s no registration required. Older children can choose to participate in a short, guided ride on the bike path at 12:30 p.m., if they like.
The Bike Rodeo is one of a few Halloween-themed events on Saturday.
