Family Trail Day on the Fairy Trail
Mark your calendars for Saturday, July 30th - it is Family Trail Day out on the Fairy Trail! Join Friends of the Dillon Ranger District and help beautify the Fairy Trail in Silverthorne!
This is a really fun morning event for you to do with your kids (9a - 11:30a with lunch at the end!). Not only are you volunteering with a great organization here in Summit County, but you are getting outside and giving back to our amazing community. I can't think of a better way to start off your weekend!
FDRD has put together a family friendly craft activity for the kiddos to take part in, while adults mingle with like-minded folks and get their hands dirty with some trail work. Kids are also welcome to help with the maintenance efforts! After the work/crafts we will all join back together at noon for some lunch. This project is perfect for families with young children (ages 6-12) who want to give back!
Please sign up everyone who is attending in your family so we can get a sense of how many people will be attending.
We will be working from 9-11:30. We will have a volunteer job for all, light to moderate work. Afterwards, participants are welcome to stay for lunch and mingle while kids do crafts!
