The 20th Birthday Party of the Mass Central Rail Trail (MCRT) and the annual Springdale Mill Celebration took place on October 1, a stunningly beautiful day for these memorable occasions.
 
 
THANK YOU to everyone who attended, baked a birthday cake, shared music, rode the WooRide pedicabs, loaned us the shuttle van, directed or drove trail visitors, hula hooped, face painted, made an art table, greeted, served the cakes, polished up the trail, wrote notes, painted the fire training train cars, provided the generators, offered good food, cut the ribbon, or cheered us on in your hearts!

Thank you to everyone who helped us reach this milestone year! We look forward to celebrating the MCRT's 25th birthday with you!
