In April, we had the opportunity to provide some special programming for some of the kids who frequent the Shelby Park Community Center by holding a couple of “fix-em up” workshops on Tuesdays two weeks in a row.
The first week, a group of five children, ages 8-12, walked over to the shop on Logan. Seth showed them the facility then got down to teaching all about tubes and fixing flats. The kids relished the whole experience – didn’t mind getting their hands dirty (in spite of the fact some wore fancy shoes) and seemed to derive particular pleasure from using the pump for inflation.
The following Tuesday, Seth pedaled over to the community center with the mobile unit and “set up shop” in the park. Lots of kids and adults dropped by for both mechanical insight and general info about FCCB. It was a great way to let our neighbors know we are here and what we do.
