Bicycle Raffle Winner - Ryan Shefferman
Endicott Park Day was a lucky day for Ryan Shefferman of Vineyard St., Danvers but he didn’t know how lucky until Dec. 20th. That was the day he learned that he had won the Trek 7100 bicycle being raffled off by the Danvers Bi-Peds. The raffle began June 23rd at Endicott Park Day. The Shefferman family was there to watch their daughter show off her winning entry in the Doll Carriage Parade. The Bi-Peds display was near by and Ryan stopped by to fill out a free raffle entry. December 15th was the last day to enter the raffle. After the entry e-mails were entered into a data base, the winner was selected electronically and Ryan was notified by e-mail. Ingrid Barry, President of the Bi-Peds, arranged to meet Ryan on Saturday, December 22nd at Western Cycle, 22 Maple Street, Danvers to present the bike and assorted Bi-Peds information to him. Ryan couldn’t have been happier since he was planning on giving his wife a bike for Christmas. Wanting something small enough to fit under the tree, he purchased a helmet and bicycle pump using his 15% discount offered to Bi-Peds members by the bike shop. The Danvers Bi-Peds would like to thank Western Cycle for their generous assistance in this raffle as well as all those who helped run the raffle, particularly Matthew Duggan. They are also grateful to all those who participated.

Our primary goal is to convert the abandoned rail bed into a scenic, linear park stretching 4.4 miles through Danvers. To move this concept forward requires the Town to sign a no-cost, 99-year lease with the MBTA. The Board of Selectmen have the authority to enter into this lease and we need at least three of the five members to sign. If you believe this multi-use pathway will improve the quality of life for every resident of Danvers then please contact our Selectmen and Town Manager using the links below; let them know how you feel about this issue. |
