[IndianaTrails] Whitewater Canal Trail event

[Mick Wilz]

Steve we were working on a press release when your Email came. Here is
our event for June 3rd.


Berries, Bikes and Blossoms
Celebrating National Trails Day & Strawberry Daze

Pass wildflowers, hear the canal water and enjoy the strawberries, all
in Franklin County's historic Whitewater River Valley. The Whitewater
Canal Trail is sponsoring Berries, Bikes and Blooms Saturday, June 3.
The event will celebrate National Trails Day and will coincide with
Metamora's Strawberry Daze. 
 According to the American Hiking Society, the first Saturday every June
is designated National Trails Day (NTD) in the United States. On that
day every year more than a million hikers, bikers, equestrians, and
others take part in thousands of events nationwide in celebration of
America's trails.
WCT President Mick Wilz will offer juice at the Metamora Trail Head
(across from the aqueduct in Metamora) beginning at 8 a.m. Bikers and
hikers will then follow the Trail to the historic twin locks before
making the return trip to Metamora. In all, the distance is about five
miles.
 The Whitewater Canal Trail is a non-profit organization dedicated to
building a hike-bike trail between Metamora and Brookville and points
beyond. For more information, log on to www.whitewatercanaltrail.com
