We had our November meeting at the Fayston Town Hall on Tuesday, November 6, 2007. Nine members attended.

Our Annual Raffle Dinner was a tremendous success. Thanks to everyone who worked so hard to make it a fun evening. A special thanks to the Kenyon’s. We would not have had such a great turn out without all their help and hard work.

Trail Work Saturday November 3

Club members Reggie, Doug, Kevin, Skip, and Tony were out debrushing the trail from Reggie Orr's shop to the bottom of the steep pitch on the way up to Huntington. Doug brought out his New Holland tractor and moved several large hemlocks that had fallen along the trail during recent wind storms. Kerv and Skip also assisted in cleaning out a culvert that was completely clogged with leaves and debris.




The trail crew meets each and every Saturday morning at Kenyons store at 8AM. Working on the trails is a great way to get in shape for the upcoming season and we could sure use your help.

Raffle Dinner

The Mad River Ridge Runners held another successful raffle dinner at the Montpelier Elks Club on Saturday October 20th. This dinner is the major fund raiser for the club and proceeds are used towards trail and bridge improvements. Special thanks go out to all of those businesses who donated this years prizes, our hard working club members who helped plan out and run this event and the folks at Poor Farm Trading for the donation of the Polaris sled.
