The owners of LDN Auto Service and Salon 421 are excited to host another annual spring fundraiser geared towards kids. On Saturday, May 4, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., families are encouraged to bring their kids’ bicycles for a complimentary spring tune-up, which includes a tire pressure check, chain lube and adjust, and brake check and seat adjustment.
 

While they wait, kids can get free haircuts provided by the staff of Salon 421. A complimentary hotdog and drink barbecue will also be available for the whole family. Attendees will receive Slushie coupons, courtesy of Île-des-Chênes Country Store.

Kids will have an opportunity to experience what it feels like to sit inside an actual race car. For every bike tuned, the lucky kid will leave with a ticket to the Red River Co-op Speedway this summer.

While the event is completely free to all attendees, a donation box will be available to anyone wishing to make a contribution to SwimAbility Manitoba, a swim program provided by University of Manitoba students and designed with special needs children in mind.
