Maxcie Taylor is no stranger to the community.

As a Full-time Community Liaison and Marketing Consultant in the city of Mesquite, she is always encouraging her clients to not only make more money…but spend more time in the community!

On July 23rd, Taylor and her sponsors were able to be vendors at the Park Popup hosted by the Mesquite Parks and Recs at KidsQuest Park.

She said she decided to give away bikes during this event to give kids some excitement before the end of the summer. Along with support from sponsors, she raised donations to give away snacks and chips, ice cold water, and 32 bikes to some very lucky local winners!!

Taylor believes that every kid should be able to enjoy riding a bike around the neighborhood during the summer and spend time outside like she did growing up.

“I want the kids of Mesquite to know they belong and that we care about them, she said. “The most important thing that we can do as citizens and parents for our kids is have them out at events like this Park PopUp. Imagine if your kid received a bike!”

She encourages parents to follow the city’s Facebook pages to learn more about what’s going on with the City.

“The city does a great job of putting on free events like this all the time and they work really hard to give these kids every opportunity to succeed…we just need you all to engage and participate.”
