The department's bike team officers and dispatchers taught bicycle safety and helped kids navigate an obstical course with make-believe fair obstructions such as livestock and cow patties. The rodeo featured a show by bicycle stunt performer Robbie Pfunder of jumps, balancing and other tricks. The fair continues today west of Bentonville.
