The Summerland Trans Canada Trail Society will host an interpretive walk and picnic this weekend.
The walk along the Trans Canada Trail in Summerland will take place beginning at the Summerland Rodeo Grounds trailhead on Saturday, May 9 at 9:45 a.m.
David Gregory, a local historian, will lead the group to the gazebo while explaining the history of the Kettle Valley Railway trail, Millionaires’ Row and the flume water system.
At the gazebo, Henry Sielmann, president of the trail society, will barbecue hot dogs. Bob Johnson will provide musical entertainment.
The proceeds will go to maintenance and improvements of the trail system.
Membership forms will be available at the gazebo.
Organizers ask participants to bring their own lawn chairs to the trail head, since there is little to no seating at the gazebo. Directors will ensure the trails are delivered to the gazebo.
The event is expected to last around four hours.
Participants are encouraged to bring good walking shoes, a filled water bottle, a hat and appropriate clothing.
A fee will be charged for the barbecue. The event is a fundraiser for the Summerland Trans Canada Trail Society.
