Task Force from Governor’s Office
Looking to find out how many miles of gradable trail we have
And Excavator would be more help than a grader for the types of trails we have
Power lines might gain 5 miles if expanded south
Would connect up to powersports dealer if we did that.
Dirt Bike ride was a big event
They get a lot more access for this event because it is only for one day where as are atv trails are open all season so they are harder to get access for.
They were good about it and are sending us a donation in exchange for using our trail as part of their ride that day.

Noble high school will write vouchers for community service for people helping the club
Need to write press release for Sentinel for upcoming ride
