The Battle Ground Police Department is hosting a Bicycle Safety Rodeo for children ages 4 to 13.

Prevent Together: Battle Ground Prevention Alliance will be teaming up with the DREAM Team to feature information for youth and parents on vaping, including the “Right Before Your Eyes” bedroom exhibit for parents.
As in year’s past, the musical entertainment will not disappoint. New this year, bringing a Scottish touch, is Gillespie Brothers Bagpipe and Drum, and back by popular demand is West Arts Academy Rock Ensemble, a talented group of student musicians playing everyone’s favorites.
