Get back on that horse and join Friends of the Calumet-Sag Trail for the second annual Happy Trails Jamboree, October 1. The 2009 event helped the Friends match $150,000 in federal trail planning dollars, helping communities from Lemont to Burnham receive their fair share of trail goodness.

WHAT FER?: Raising money to build the Calumet-Sag Trail
WHEN?: October 1, 2010; 6 PM–10 PM

IS IT TAX DEDUCTIBLE? Yep, except for the first $29. FOCST is a 501c3 organization.
AND THE TREK SOHO RAFFLE? Get your tickets.

Last year’s Jamboree set a tone of boot stompin’, skirt twirlin’ orneriness we hope to extend through this FUNdraising evening. It’s a $20 million trail we aim to build, so giddy up and get your tickets—only 250 of these li’l critters are loose in the wild, and they’ll disappear quicker than a belly itch on a snake.
