Liberal’s Baker Arts Center is adding excitement to the summer season with their upcoming Electric Bike Ride Parade on Saturday, June 1. Inspired by a similar event in Maui, the ride aims to bring the community together for a fun-filled night. Participants are encouraged to decorate their bikes with lights and other bright accessories for a chance to win prizes for the best decorations. The ride will start at 8:15 p.m., following a meetup from 7:30 to 8 p.m.
Baker Arts Center Director Brittyn Heronemus expressed her enthusiasm for the event, stating that they are always looking for new ways to engage families in the community. Last year, they successfully organized free movie nights in the park, attracting many families and showcasing the center’s offerings. This year, they wanted to continue the momentum and came up with the idea of combining creativity with sports and fun.
The Electric Bike Ride Parade not only allows participants to showcase their artistic side but also provides an opportunity to explore the beautiful park and the surrounding neighborhood. Heronemus hopes that the event will attract new faces to the Baker Arts Center, as they seek to expand their reach beyond being the town’s best-kept secret.
In preparation for the event, attendees are advised to dress appropriately for the warm evening weather and bring water bottles for hydration. Safety is a priority, so it is recommended to wear reflective vests to enhance visibility during the nighttime ride. Those with younger children who are still learning to ride can participate in a shorter route around the Baker Arts Center property, followed by time to play in the park.
The Electric Bike Ride Parade is a unique and creative way to connect with the community and introduce them to the various offerings of the Baker Arts Center. With no registration required, residents of Liberal are encouraged to join the ride, meet new people, and have a fun-filled night under the stars.
