A special feature will be the unveiling of the Gateway Community road sign which will be installed at the entrance to our city.June 7th is also National Trails Day—a day to celebrate trails across the country--and the event will feature information and give aways from the American Hiking Society. American Hiking Society's signature trail awareness program, National Trails Day® (NTD), inspires the public and trail enthusiasts nationwide to seek out their favorite trails to discover, learn about, and celebrate trails while participating in educational exhibits, trail dedications, gear demonstrations, instructional workshops and trail work projects.
