Two local fire departments will benefit from a community event in the Mon Valley this weekend.
The eighth annual Bike Run and Car Show, sponsored by Just A Tavern and Minniti Motorsports, will take place Saturday afternoon along Broad Avenue in North Belle Vernon.
The event will kick off at 10 a.m. when cyclists will sign up for the 100-mile ride at the North Belle Vernon Fire Department, located at 535 Graham St.
A blessing of the bikes will take place at 11 a.m., with the ride beginning at 11:15.
There’s a $20 fee per driver to register and an additional $15 for each passenger, which also includes dinner at the end of the ride.
Event organizer Joe Minniti said riders will travel throughout the area before returning to North Belle Vernon for a community block party at 3 p.m.
In previous years, more than 100 bike riders attended the event, but that number could fluctuate depending on the weather forecast this weekend, Minniti said.
Following the bike run, a community day will take place on Broad Avenue beginning around 1 p.m. with dozens of vendors, a classic car show, gift auction and raffles.
