This video is of the 46th Annual Bicycle Safety Rodeo in Washington Missouri. This is event is put on by the Washington Optimist Club and the Washington Police Department which was held at the Washington Fairgrounds Swine Pavilion. It was rescheduled from May 21st to September 10th due to bad weather. This explains why the turnout was less than expected. There were a lot of other events going on during this weekend in Washington, Mo.
The following are just some of the volunteers that were not associated with the Optimist Club or the Police Department.
MoCHIP - is a comprehensive child identification and protection tool designed to give families a measure of protection against the ever-increasing problem of missing children. This program is provided free of charge to every family who wishes to participate.
It is our sincerest hope that no family will need the resource provided in our packets, but if the need should arise we believe the information that we provide from our program will be instrumental to law enforcement agencies in the recovery of a missing child. mochip.org/
