Shredfest will be held Saturday, July 14 at the Ramp Park in Huckeberry Park, sponsored by the Hannibal Parks & Recreation Department, Hannibal Clinic Health Services and PlanNine.

“The competition is a lot of fun to watch. I encourage everyone to come out to see.”

The fourth annual event is a free skateboard, bike and scooter competition. Along with the competition, the first 200 people to attend as a spectator or participant will receive a t-shirt and a Pro-Tech helmet from Ride Cool, sponsored by Hannibal Clinic Health Services.

Registration starts at noon with the competition beginning at 1 p.m. All participants must have a helmet and a signed waiver from a parent or guardian if under 18.
