An added bonus was a Big Wheel Rodeo for children of all ages through Memorial Park at Van Neste Square, the site of the event.

The event — featuring Ridgewood Police Chief John Ward (bike clothes), Officer Joseph Youngberg and Fire Department Lt. Scott Schmidt — was sponsored by the Ridgewood Chamber of Commerce, Little Ivy Learning Center and the village.
