The Dominion Post Walk, jog, bike or skate to kick off the grand opening celebration for the Caperton and Deckers Creek rail-trails and Hazel Ruby McQuain Riverfront Park, on May 20. Although people have been using the trail for months, it's still not officially open. The first 300 people to register will receive a T-shirt commemorating the event. The next 300 to register will receive Trail Mix 2000 water bottles. No pets are allowed at the party.
Registration is necessary for the brew pub's lunch.
Registration forms can be picked up at local sponsors. Winners will be announced throughout the afternoon. Trail Mix 2000 will also serve as a fund-raiser for MRTC, a nonprofit group of volunteers. Since 1991, MRTC has built public support and helped develop the 51-mile Monongahela River and Deckers Creek rail corridor for use in Monongalia, Preston and Marion counties. All proceeds from Trail Mix 2000 will benefit the MRTC and be used for maintenance on the trail.
