Buena Vista's ceremony will begin at 10:00 a.m. at the Buena Vista Regional Visitor Center. Glasgow's ceremony will begin at 1:30 p.m. at their in-town hiker shelter. The day promises to be an exciting one with many activities planned to help celebrate the day. Any hikers who happen to be in the area on that day are invited to come by and join in our celebration.

I am going down to rons for the 1st and will spread the word. A major problem with this area is that there needs to be more of a encentive (free ride morning,evening) to get these folks to town. Trail head is difficult to get to. A beter spot to establish is by arcadia. It is cloe and already for outfitter setup but outside of hikers nobody goes down there. Any festival needs to be planned around trail days based on 12-15 miles days from demascus this might also help bring peolpe (money) to these economies. I have given much thought to all this my wife and I have helped hikers for the last 4 years she is known for german chocolate cake and beer for trail magic (no joke we will deliver anything) and would like to open a hiker hostel (dutch hause cool place) and be of service but this area is hard to get to trail heads (arcadia) that's why there needs to be a festival. Sorry for any spelling and grammer.

I assume you meant Captain Tim's in Buena Vista, Land Shark. If so, it is now closed.
