It’s going to busy a busy day in town this Saturday for those who wish to join in with the EGT to green their lifestyles just a bit. Three events are running which will help you to do so, the Ewing Fall Spin, the final 2015 Shred Day, and the EGT’s 2nd Annual Scarecrow Contest.

The Fall Spin, Ewing’s First ever Bike Tour organized to promote a more bikeable Ewing, will start at the ESCC at 8 a.m. Participants will ride out promptly at 9 to complete an 11 mile journey through the western section of town. Riders will have a police escort and there will be a number of stops at points of interest as well as a rest stop at the River Horse Brewery. (So sorry, but you will have to return after the ride for one of their excellent tours and tastings). The fee is $20. That covers the cost of tee-shirts (if available). If there are insufficient tee-shirts left, we will arrange for you to receive one after the day.
