							could be more fitting than bikers giving away bikes? 
							On Saturday morning at the Kickapoo Creek Park, the 
							Salt Creek A.B.A.T.E. hosted its annual Easter Egg 
							hunt. At the end of the day four lucky youngsters; 
							one from each age level of the hunt, took home 
							either brand new tricycles or brand new bikes.
