Thank You From the EVGV Trail Committee

Thank You From The EVGV Trail Committee

The BBQ to benefit the Ellicottville Great Valley Recreational Trail held Saturday, October 17th was a great success!  With the cooperation of a beautiful sunny fall day, there amid vibrant fall color at the Village Square, the EVGV Trail experienced support from the local community and good traffic from those visiting for the day.  Both made generous donations in addition to enjoying the food.  The trail committee wishes to thank all of those who participated and shared their experiences, support and hopes for the future of this great addition to our community.  It was helpful that the meals were delicious.

Maps of the proposed trail were posted at the order/pick-up table so everyone could see how the entire proposed trail system benefits the area.  Each diner received a description of the current state of the initial trail section, the immediate need to stabilize our efforts so far and to ensure that progress holds through the winter.  Volunteers were on-hand to answer questions about the trail, including points it will eventually connect and how it will tie into the broader New York State trail system.  Because our volunteers are so passionate about the future of the trail, it was wonderful to hear so many kind words in support of this project from the community.

 Some of the visitors to the BBQ took advantage of great deals on trail merchandise including high quality sweatshirts, long sleeve and short sleeve t-shirts with embroidered Trail Logo.  If you wanted one and didn't get a chance to make a purchase of our merchandise, it's not too late.  Please contact us through our website for merchandise, more information on the trail or to make a donation at www.evgvtrail.org

There is still a great deal of work to be done on this project. We invite you to get involved, check up on our progress through our website, follow us on Facebook and/or Twitter, and participate in our upcoming events to be announced.

We appreciate the contribution of efforts and margin to the Trail fund by Ken Carson and crew of Carson's BBQ of Ashford, NY.  We also appreciate the help of committee members, including but not limited to: Matt McAndrew, Scott Johnson, Tim Zerfas, Paul Timkey, John Thomas, Lisa Hunt, and Laurie Barrera.
