Lexi Kimbrell came out to the Aiken Kiwanis Club"s annual Tricycle Races ready to ride. She"s only 3 years old, but, hey, she"s got good genes.
"I"ve been racing motorcycles all my life and work at Aiken Motorcycle Sales," said her dad, Chad Kimbrell. "Lexi has a dirt bike and a tricycle, and she"s got her tricycle racing shirt on. We"re having a good time."
The event for kids age 3-8, sponsored this year by Shaw Areva Mox Services, is the club"s biggest fundraiser, said Kiwanis President Scott Singer. The proceeds are used to support the Circle K clubs and Key Clubs in high schools, as well as Terrific Kids programs at the elementary level.
Silver Bluff High School"s Key Club adviser Mary Thomas brought some of her students to help with face-painting and bookmarkers.
"We want to support the Kiwanis Club because they do a lot for us," said Key Club member Angela Wilson. "The program has taught me to not think of self, but to serve others."
In the race for 4-year-olds, Angelica Rodriguez finished in a dead heat with Caden Cribb for first place.
"This is an awesome event for the kids," said Angelica"s mom, Pamela Rodriguez. "It"s a good cause, too."
