Pilots hid behind Nixon's until they saw the trishaws and swarmed the patio. It took several times of everyone saying "Look at the 3rd trishaw!" before it registered to Barb!

CWA Littleton had a great time at the Vitality Walk and Run 5k hosted by the Parkinson Association of the Rockies earlier this summer. We gave trishaw rides to those who are affected by Parkinson's who were unable to walk in the event. They and their families were thrilled that this enabled them to be able to participate in the event. What an incredible morning!
Kevin's Birthday Parade - June, 2021
CWA Littleton had a great time celebrating Kevin's 44th birthday earlier this summer along with 75 other community members! A bike led the parade with a vintage car, followed by walkers, then the trishaws and a block long of cars and last the fire truck brought up the rear. It was a beautiful witness of a community coming together. Despite the heat, all enjoyed Olive Garden food and homemade desserts with ice cream. Shout out to Olive Garden (Wadsworth/Littleton), Visiting Angels Littleton, Cycling Without Age Littleton, Little Man Ice Cream and musicians: Logan Dailey, Rylan Montoya, Ken Dold. A good time was had by all!
