Volunteer Appreciation Party!

We want to say THANK YOU to all of you who volunteered with us this summer! All are invited to join the party and raise a glass to the hardworking folks who gave their time and sweat equity to keep the trails in tip top shape. Bring your friends and family for a fun night of catching up with old friends plus some Wilderness-themed games and activities for all ages.

If you volunteered this year, keep an eye on your email next week for a coupon for your first round on us! We'd love to buy you a beer (or N/A drink) to celebrate another successful season in the Bob.
