The city of Bella Vista, in conjunction with the city of Bentonville, Bike NWA and the NWA Trailblazers, invites all to attend a ribbon cutting for the extension of the Razorback Regional Greenway into Bella Vista starting at 9 a.m. Saturday, July 28.
Kids and adults are invited to bring their bikes to be decorated for a bike parade immediately following the ribbon cutting. Decorating begins at 8:30 and will be hosted by the Artist Retreat Center in Bella Vista. Materials will be available. Decorating is not required to participate in the parade.
The ribbon cutting event will be at the new Greenway terminus at Blowing Springs Trailhead.

After the parade, attendees can enjoy vendors and food trucks and participate in a no-drop group bike ride to the Bentonville Square and back, about 10 miles round trip, led by Erin Rushing, director of NWA Trailblazers.
