On Aug. 13, the third annual Sagamore Hills Bike Parade, South Whitehall Township, was escorted by Gary Lentz in his ’67 Corvette convertible.
In the car with him was the person responsible for the parade, his daughter-in-law Laura Lentz.
An escort from the South Whitehall Police Department also was part of the parade, led by Officer Eric Norder on his bicycle and Officer Bethany Adams in her police car.
The police were followed by a parade of bicycles, scooters, strollers and skateboards, many specially decorated for the occasion.
Residents in the neighborhood came out in front of their homes and gathered in driveways to cheer on the participants.
