Day Of Caring On The Snow Shoe Rails to Trails

Marilee Close scheduled the Bald Eagle Area 8th grade students for a Day of Caring on the Snow Shoe Rails to Trails, October 5, 2017.
The Bald Eagle Area students that volunteered for this project and their teachers - Marci McGonigal and Mandy Woodring were delivered by Jim Cramer bussing. Gary Halsnik and Larry Mayes met everyone and explained the work needing done.

We were divided into two crews, one painting the perimeter fencing surrounding the Gillentown Trailhead. The other crew painted tire rim post used for parking at events.

The students painted a lot more than the trail expected. They got all the rim post painted and about 1/2 of the entire perimeter fence. After the work was completed, they ate their lunch and all did a walk down the trail to the Route 144 tunnel. What a great project for the students to take on and help out the SSRTA for a couple hours. Mrs. McGonigal and Mrs. Woodring did a great job directing their kids and the project. The SSRTA wants to thank everyone involved in "Day of Caring" on the Snow Shoe Rails to Trails.

5th Annual Carns Equipment/SSRTA Pig Roast

Alot of volunteers made the 5th Annual Carns Equipment/SSRTA Pig Roast a success. Preping prior to the event, during and cleanup afterwards - Hogs were purchased from Marks Meat of Lamar, cooking the hogs all night long - Chris Vangor, family and friends did another awesome job preparing them for the next day event. Alot of members and help from the Centre County Probation Office provided a large crowd a great meal. This was the first time that we ran out of food for the pig roast. It was awesome to have such a large crowd on a rather cooler day. Jack's Snack Shack was on hand to provide ice cream but the cooler weather put a little damper on the ice cream sales this day. Jack always does good when the weather is hotter. We want to thank all the volunteers and the members for their support for this event. Without you there would be no event and fundraiser. Ron Fye and his wife Sheila did a fantastic job parking the trailhead full and then filling in some of the overflow areas. Thank you all and Carns has already scheduled the 6th Annual Pig Roast for September 29, 2018. The State Trails will still be open for this event next years. Thank you everyone from Carns Equipment!!!
