Congratulations on your accomplishments!
On Sunday, Erik Goetzinger BMX and Nanaimo BMX participated in Kids Fest in Parksville. A big THANK YOU to Randy, Brandon and Amanda Little from Nanaimo BMX who drove up the ABA Canada van and helped out at the event. Steven Creighton also of Nanaimo BMX came up to help as well. From Erik Goetzinger BMX, Sara and Brad Paddock talked with people and handed out information and Richard and Jamie Fretz provided the generator so that BMX videos could be played at the booth. Thank you to those from Erik Goetzinger and Nanaimo BMX who stopped by the booth and helped out.
The Kids Fest booth wouldn't have happened without Robert and Trisha Grecht who put all this together. Thank You!

Finally, one of the long standing Erik Goetzinger members had a great weekend off the BMX track. 16 year-old Sheldon Trees, who started racing at Erik Goetzinger BMX at the age of 7, was up in Comox trying out for the Comox Valley Glacier Kings of the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League. He had a great weekend and will be starting the season with the Glacier Kings.
We look forward to seeing everyone at the track on Tuesday.
