The purpose of the open house is to update the community on the progress of the committee, accept input on the route of the proposed trail, and listen to other suggestions from the public. A free lunch will be served. One activity for people will be to draw their preferred route for the trail.

On hand to answer questions will be various members of the trail committee and Randy Thorson of the National Park Service. Committee members are Jeff Bertram, Phyllis Conlin, Pastor Lonnie Gleitz, Mary Hahn, Karlin Jacoby, Dwaine Lindberg, Ed McIntee, Warren Nehring, Johnnie Olson, Paul Osborne, Don Otte, and Gary Swenson. The committee recently added two youth members Ð Tara Schmidt and Tanya Whitcomb Ð to get a youth perspective for the project.
