The program will begin Memorial Day weekend and run through Labor Day weekend.

Children seen wearing a helmet while riding will be given a coupon for a free small ice cream cone with the purchase of a small cone. Coupons can be redeemed at Dairy Queen, and the child must be accompanied by an adult.
Adults seen wearing a helmet can receive a coupon for a free 16-ounce Blizzard with the purchase of a 16-ounce Blizzard. Coupons will be valid until Dec. 31, 2012.
Also included on the coupon is a form to fill out an mail in for a chance to be one of 50 randomly drawn names to be invited to an end-of-summer event with the Blue Jackets.
