Tour the Trail was a success! 🛺🌳 Tour the Trail will be offered again this fall. Keep an eye out for more information on a fall date and time.

A huge thank you to the six community leaders who volunteered their time to keep the wheels turning! For four straight hours, our drivers made nonstop trips throughout Page Park and across Petunia Crossing, giving community members a chance to enjoy the trail and take in the views.

👏 A special thank you to our volunteer drivers:
Mike Venier, Mary Oros, Geoff Smith, Mike O’Horo, Amanda Wike, Luke Nelson and Danny Langloss, Jr.

📣 And a big shoutout to Duane Long, who kept things organized and managed the seemingly never-ending line of riders!

Thank you to everyone who volunteered, participated and helped make Tour the Trail such a great community event. We loved seeing so many people out enjoying Page Park and Petunia Crossing! 🌸

Be sure to post a picture here of your experience with Tour the Trail.
