The Tour De Salt Shaker, is coming October 8, 2022 in Downtown Benton. It’s a full Saline County community event that will bring cyclists and Backyard BBQ together for a Saline County festival.
This is all to raise awareness and support for adoption and foster care in our community as well as support services for women in unplanned pregnancies. All proceeds from this event will go to ABBA Charities, Inc. which support these services in Saline County and throughout the State of Arkansas.
Tour De Salt Shaker will have three cycling routes throughout Saline County to choose from. They will have a Fondo (50 miles), Medio (30 miles), Townie (10 miles), and a Tot Relay.
The Townie is a “family fun ride” and the Tot Relay is a way to get your little ones involved as they relay down the Saline County Court Square.
This event will begin in downtown Benton and will include the Inaugural King of the Wing BBQ Chicken Wing Cook-off. It’s local grilling teams competing for the “Salt Shaker” trophy.
Other festivities include RollerFest, with a Mountain Bike Clinic, Southern BMX Trick Shows, and Skate Park Competitions – Big Air, Scooters, Skateboards, & Bikes hosted by the City of Benton Parks and Recreation and Holy Roller Bike Shop.
Look for festivities for the whole family including craft booths, face painting, live entertainment, food trucks and more. Follow the Facebook event for updates at THIS LINK.
