Trail Building Event/ Documentary Filming
Saturday August 28th 10:00-1:00, Cookout Afterwards

We are hosting a trail building event to work on the 5 mile hike and bike trail system in the Thomas City Park. There will be a film crew on site to include our project in documentary about community improvement projects across the state. Come out and lets show off the unique people and energy that make this place so great! We will have a cookout in the park following trailwork.

Located just across the 219 bridge from Thomas, the park runs along the North Fork of the Blackwater River and features beautiful mixed hardwood forests. The trails will provide a great place for locals to recreate and a fun attraction for tourist within walking distance of downtown Thomas. Come join us and help the community while learning sustainable trail building methods and meeting new people in a natural setting.

The mood is always festive and we will hold a cookout following the work. We will meet at the park, reached by taking the first gravel road on the right after crossing the 219 bridge from Thomas. Please dress for the weather, wear sturdy shoes and bring work gloves if you have them. Please call or email with questions or to RSVP. Hope to see you there!
