BERLIN – A Berlin resident has plans to host the town’s first “Earth Day Blessing of the Wheels” event April 22 at Stephen Decatur Park.
Gussie Sholtis, creator and coordinator of the event, said most days she sees bikes, strollers and the like pass by the window of her real estate office on Main Street, and after reading a book that mentioned a blessing for bikes at a church in Colorado, she decided to take action.
“Not only do I work in town, I’ve lived here for 22 years,” she said. “Everyone I know gets around this town on a bike, so it made perfect sense to have a ‘Blessing of the Wheels’ for our town. It’s also a good opportunity to show awareness for this major form of transportation for so many.”
