Family Day on the Mad River Greenway
Sunday, May 18th
In conjunction with the Valley Walk and Roll Festival (sponsored
by Valley Moves) the MRPA is hosting a Family Day on the Mad River
Greenway from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m.. Bring the whole family
as well as your bikes or hiking shoes and spend some quality time
on the Path. Stop along the river and skip a stone, bring your fishing
pole, take a rest on a bench and absorb some delicious spring air,
or do an aerobic round trip power walk to get your heart a-thumping.
Pets on leash are welcome. The event starts at both ends of the
Greenway (Meadow Road behind Small Dog, or Tremblay Road below the
Waitsfield town garage), and there will be lemondade and cookies.
You will have the opportunity to become a new member of the Mad
River Path Association or renew your current membership.
