Downtown Springdale Hosts the Halfway Halt During the Square to Square Bike Ride
Springdale, AR – The Downtown Springdale Alliance hosts the Halfway Halt once again on October 8th during this Fall’s Square to Square bike ride from Bentonville to Fayetteville on the Razorback Greenway. The Halfway Halt is presented by the Tyson Family Foundation and provides riders and spectators with a fun way to spend time in downtown Springdale.
“We’re encouraging bike riders who want to take a break to park their bikes and enjoy refreshments from our local restaurants, music in Turnbow Park, special deals from our retailers & art throughout our downtown,” says Jill Dabbs, Executive Director of Downtown Springdale Alliance. “The same goes for the community – come downtown, grab a cup of coffee or brunch, cheer on the riders, enjoy the tunes and see all the great things happening in the downtown.”
