Big Wheel event returning to downtown

Missouri Valley Big Brothers Big Sisters is holding the second Bring Your Own Big Wheel event from 6-8 p.m. Thursday on Jefferson Street between High Street and Capitol Avenue in downtown Jefferson City.

More than 15 riders will take part in the competition, in which child-sized riding toys will race down Jefferson Street.

Entrance fee is $250.

Proceeds from the event will be used to help offset the cost of matching and monitoring volunteer adult mentors with children in the local area.
