On July 3 organizers with the Citizens for Reinbeck organization held their annual Big Wheel Races. The course was a one-block downhill stretch on College Street in front of Elmwood Park.

Five age divisions competed with several participants ages 3-7 showing up to fill the block with racers and spectators.

First, second and third place finishers in each division received a trophy and a drawing was held at the end of the event to give away a boys and a girls big wheel.

Local businesses, organizations and families sponsored the fleet of big wheel tricycles.
