Strawberry Festival looking for Trike Race teams


May 9, 2012 · Updated 2:01 PM 

MARYSVILLE — The Strawberry Festival is now accepting applications for teams to participate in the festival's annual trike race obstacle course in Asbery Field on June 15.

Last year's trike race was canceled due to a lack of teams. Jodi Hiatt, race coordinator, hopes that enough teams sign up before the June 4 deadline.

"I know a lot of people were disappointed that they were canceled last year," she said. "We need at least 10 teams to sign up or we will have to cancel it."

Application materials and more information can be found on the festival's website at maryfest.org.
