Bike decorating contest at Veterans Memorial Park

One of the hallmarks of Port Washington’s annual Fourth of July parade are the area children who ride bicycles, strollers and scooters they have decorated to reflect the holiday. Afterward, the youngsters compete for prizes in a bike decorating contest at Veterans Memorial Park. The winners of this year’s contest are (front) Mayla Pleitner, (back row, from left)  Ashlee Bailie, Kaitlyn Johnson, Jack Egan, Natalie Flanagan, Ruby Boblick, Natalie Brickner, Lidia Gerloff, Layla Spraaza, Jose Camila, Jessica Anewenter and Alex Anewenter.                                Photo by Sam Arendt
