*** The "Pinehurst Project" - 
Big News - Pinehurst Park has recently taken delivery of a Piston Bull snowcat groomer that will be put to work during the upcoming 2014/15 winter season.
A volunteer work date has been set for the weekend of October 25th & 26th to seed and mat the eastern portion of the Pinehurst hill. The seeding and mat placement last fall was a tremendous success and it's hoped that the easter portion of the hill will be equally successful. Corporate sponsorships continue to build so there is every reason to believe that Phase-2 plans will become a reality next summer. If you haven't had a chance to check it out yet, you need to. Red Eye members volunteer efforts and financial contributions have been greatly appreciated. Project fund raising is on going, and donation site links can be accessed through their website at http://pinehurstpark.org/ . You can also follow the project's progress on their Facebook page.
