[IndianaTrails] Greenways at the State Fair

[Kevin Heber]

It's State Fair Time Again! August 6th - 17th

In 2007, the Greenways Foundation, with the help of many avid trails  
volunteers, told countless visitors to he Indiana State Fair about the  
progress that had been made all over Indiana in the development of  
trails and greenways. And we asked for their support of linear parks  
in their communities. The Foundation has agreed to help get the word  
out again this year by providing and manning the same two booths, one  
in the Department of Natural Resources Building, the other at the  
InShape Indiana pavilion.

The message of progress we have to provide to Hoosiers from all over  
the State this year will be even more exciting than last. We will be  
able to talk about the nearly 150 miles of abandoned rail line that  
has been purchased since the last Fair. And more importantly, we will  
be able to tell people about the twenty-eight projects that have  
recently been funded by DNR grants. Because of these developments  
there is a real sense of progress and anticipation that you can help  
impart to Hoosier citizens who are curious about what trails and  
greenways will mean to their town, city or county.

Just like last year, we need knowledgeable, enthusiastic trails and  
greenways supporters to staff the booths. For volunteering for one or  
more four-hour shifts, you get free admission to the Fair. Plus, you  
get a shirt. First-time volunteers will receive a Greenways Foundation  
golf shirt. For those who volunteered last year, you get a  
commemorative Greenways Foundation Monon Anniversary t-shirt. You also  
get the satisfaction of helping your fellow citizens understand the  
wonderful benefits of Hoosiers on the Move, the State's trails and  
greenways plan.

Please sign up as a volunteer today at:

There are still several days and shifts available.  Provide all the  
information on the form, including your shirt size. We will mail your  
free admission ticket to you and have your shirt waiting for you at  
the booth. Along with your ticket, we will send you a brief outline of  
how to present Hoosiers On The Move and the wonderful progress that  
has been made this year.

Thanks for being an important part of the trails movement in Indiana!
