| Event coordinators Angie Heartsill and Officer Kyle Keller were pleased with the turnout for the 8th Annual Helmets and Hotdogs event held to coincide with the last day of school for Knoxville. Over 238 kids were in attendance.
It was a chance for parents and caregivers to have kids’ helmets checked and adjusted properly. A total of 126 helmets were given out. Heartsill told KNIA/KRLS News, “This event started eight years ago. We were trying to have kids have helmets on and then also double, warn motorists that kids are out of school. Be watching roadways a little more, slow down a little bit, let’s keep everybody safe during the summer.” Officer Kyle Kellar said he hopes to see the helmets on kids this summer. |
