Shana Banana To Perform At New Port Richey Bike Event

The children's entertainer will be a part of Curious George Bike Day.

Starkey Park will have two very special visitors May 18.

America's favorite monkey Curious George will come by to encourage kids to ride their bikes and stay active, while singer Shana Banana will entertain the crowd.

The characters visit to town are a part of Pasco County's second annual Curious George Bike Day. The event encourages preschool-aged children to bring their bikes and ride around the park with Curious George on site.
