The downtown square in Jefferson will be filled with colorful bicycles and bike parts starting this weekend.

Jefferson Matters: Main Street Program Director Peg Raney says the Tower View Team (TVT) will be installing their next “yarn bomb” event with a Pedaler’s Palooza project.  TVT did a Yarnapoolza last year when the trees on the square had yarn wrapped around them.  This time, it’s bikes will be have yarn on them.

She states that about 20 bikes will be on display in storefront windows and bike rims will be on the light poles of the intersections on the square.  The Pedaler’s Palooza will be used as a fundraiser for Jefferson Matters.

“It will be a fundraiser for Alphabet Alley, which is another project of the Tower View Team.  That’s the alley on the west side of the square leading to the public library.”

The silent auction fundraiser for the bikes will be from August 22nd through September 5th, when Jefferson hosts the Pedaler’s Jamboree.
