The town of East Spencer is hosting its second annual event to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. with a focus on youth. The event, Kids for King: Biking for a Change, will take place on Monday at the corner of Robin Circle and Long Street, near the Dunbar Center.

The event allows children of all ages to ride their bicycles from the Dunbar Center to the East Spencer Fire Department, located half a mile down the road. The ride will begin at noon and will be followed up with a youth-centered program at the fire department.

Organizers will raffle off five bicycles during the program. The bikes were provided by the East Spencer Police Department. All youth are asked to bring one fact about the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Long Street will be closed, and traffic will be detoured from noon to 2 p.m., organizers said.

The guest speaker for the program is Minister Tiffany Miller. There will also be music and refreshments available.
