We want these kids to enjoy their riding, and to be as safe as possible from serious head injury if an accident should occur. That's why AzTLA and BIAA are joining together to distribute 200 safety helmets to kids 10 and under During the Roosevelt Row Harvest Festival on Saturday, October 20, 2007.
