The family of a Buffalo Township boy who died in an accident nearly a year and a half ago is inviting the community to join an event in remembrance of him.

The Butler-Freeport Trail in Buffalo Township will host a memorial bike ride for Dylan Tarbi on Sunday, Sept. 7, starting at 2 p.m. at the Monroe Road trailhead.
