I’m with Carl, would be more than happy to break the old back for a weekend, have done so for ATV and Snowmobile trails so can do for Bike/walking Trail but still say that we should try to get some sponsor if not for the budget perhaps for up keeping part of the trail or just advertisements.

We just need a great communicator/sales person. Perhaps Pres Obama could help us out, lol!

Seriously, there are allot of great stores in that area that should be able to help us out, even if it’s a small donation, any donation is better than nothing. Forgot about REI down the road.

I can’t ask most of those retailers since they’re my customers.

WANTED> Great Sales person!!

In reply to Joe B.

Considering the benefit to Streets at Southpoint, I would think they would be a prime candidate.

How about a benefit/fundraiser? I wonder what Sting is up to these days: “We are the bridge …”
