The abandoned railway running grom Jackson St. just behind Danville High School and ending in Stateline Indiana, has been a continual interest for our group as a trail potential. Area cummunity leaders have also expressed ths same interest. A few years age, it was noted in the Commercial News that the City of Danville would look at this site as a trail potential as well; however, progress has been slow! I am in constan contact with Doug Ahrens from the Danville Parks Dept., unfortunately no new news.
Group members have indicated that they would be interested in a trail ride this spring. The Hennepin Canal Trail was suggested as a potential site that would be close and scenic. Information will go out ASAP in reguards to the Date/Time, and hotel camping informtion.
In the fall we are planning a raffle. we are working out the specifics as to when the raffle will actually take place . It is our intention to have it in commiction with another event in the area. For example, a comservation event in Kennekuk Park known as Danville Days. This event has games for childer and information about our group.
