Representatives of American Ramp Company will set up an “all-wheel pumptrack” on the Public Square Tuesday, June 7 from 3 to 6 p.m.

“Come check it out, bring your bike, skateboard or scooter and have some fun,” Mayor Jerry Autrey said.

The company will bring a complete demo track that will accommodate the various forms of non-motorized, wheeled vehicles as part of its sales pitch to the city, the mayor said.
