(Paramus , NJ) October 5, 2006 - Excited preschoolers lined up on their tricycles outside Turrell Child Care & Early Learning Center in Paramus recently to participate in the Center's first annual Trike-a-Thon. Paramus police officer Vincent Pepe officially started the event with an enthusiastic, "Ready. Set. Go!" The children were off, riding around the Center's parking lot, laughing and shouting with joy.
The lighthearted event helped raise funds for new toys for the gym and playgrounds at the Center.
