August 15, 2015 by Todd Elsworth

Our second Fairhaven Trail Work Party got the trail cleared. The CREW for the day included Charis Weathers, Kym Cummings, Loren Adkins, Kirsten Wert, Keith Kemplin, Patsy Yaude, Jane Yaude, Rai Hughes-Davies, Bill Hotson, Jen Barker, Joel Haggen and Michael Lilliquist. CREW Leader Michael Plummer with Rae Edwards and Anna from COB Parks and Recreation. Recreation Northwest’s staff, April Claxton and Todd Elsworth were out there too!
