Penny For A Free Ride

Michelin North America is awarding a $100,000 scholarship to a college-bound student, and we want to help our local teens try to win it.

With school being out on Monday and Tuesday, Landrum area teens are encouraged to come to the fire station (200 N. Trade Ave) between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. We’ll help perform the “Penny Tread Test” or check their tire pressure and take their pictures doing it so they can enter the contest by submitting the photos through social media.

Sure. It may help a local student win a college scholarship, but more importantly, this helps us identify issues to keep our students safer on the roads.
