Just a quick shout out to thank the CORP team for exhibiting at the 10th Annual Harvest Moon Festival, sponsored by the Friends of Capital Springs Recreation Area. Tim B., Jon A., Nick C., and Wes L. put on a great show. They had an awesome display showcasing the new Seminole Hill MTB trail (located in the Rec Area) and announcing the Trail Work Day on Sunday, Oct 5. The best display item was Tim’s fatty with the lime green tires (
)—kids dragged their parents to our corner, screaming about Santa’s list.
The goal was to show CORP support of FOCSRA and appreciation for FOCSRA support for the new MTB trail. Thumbs up from:
• Bill Lunney, Chair of Dane County Park Commission.
• Kevin Swenson, DNR Park Ranger at Blue Mounds State Park (pioneered Harvest Moon Festival)
• Rhea Stangel-Maier, Volunteer Coordinator, Dane County Parks (“please make sure we document volunteer hours on Seminole Hills”)
• Matt Carlson, FOCSRA President (invited Tim to meet with Exec. Dir. of UW Arboretum)
• Exec. Dir., Madison Children’s Museum (potential sponsor of kid clinics)
• Dan Kirkman, FOCSRA Board
We actually scored lots of donations.
We are looking for volunteers for next year’s Harvest Moon Festival. Absolutely great night for young family! Tim’s one-year old was just a little too young to really appreciate the night, but his wife loved the wine basket they won in the silent auction.
Follow up plan is to invite the FOCSRA Board to walk the new Seminole Hills trail. Also, we should think about a CORP meeting at the Lussier Center and night ride in the MMSD sludge pits (seriously).
