The Conservancy for Cuyahoga Valley National Park holds an annual fund raiser around the time of the summer solstice. This past weekend, the event was attended by over 450 people. It is the largest fund raiser the conservancy has each year.
For the past two years, I was lucky enough to 'elbow' my way into the event under the pretense of photographing the fun time. Don't tell anyone, but I just enjoy mingling and meeting a lot of nice people who help support the national park that I love so much.
The annual fund raiser is designed to help maintain the 100+ miles of trails in the national park. Trails Forever has a lofty goal of establishing a self sustaining endowment for the national park. The funds raised help insure creation and maintenance of the parks wonderful trail system.
Fun day and a fun alternative to my nature photography. Hopefully the photos captured help the national park and the conservancy for the national park keep the funds rolling.
If you are so inclined to help our little piece of the national park system funded, you can support the conservancy by going to the web site: Conservancy for Cuyahoga Valley National Park
